Yields rise, bins don’t: The end of ‘bushel-for-bushel’ storage growth | Grain IQ Podcast

For twenty years, the math for U.S. grain storage was simple: for every extra bushel the American farmer grew, the industry built a bushel of space to hold it. But according to University of Illinois economist Joe Janzen, that "bushel-for-bushel" trend has officially snapped. In this episode of Grain IQ, Janzen noted that while U.S. grain production continues to climb in a "straight line," aggregate storage capacity has been flat since 2020.
