Buffalo Grain Systems

It’s no secret any longer that America’s agricultural producers are hurting. We know it. You know it. Input prices are up; commodity prices are down. We have talked to clients and prospects, we have attended farmer rallies, we have given media interviews, and we have stood up in front of politicians to highlight the real problems that our agricultural producers are dealing with.

Our policy makers speak of “agriculture” without acknowledging the distinction between the big agribusinesses and you, the small local growers. Agriculture has become the nation’s second-largest lobby group. Routine subsidies have replaced antitrust enforcements, and subsidies have replaced actual reforms. Regenerative farming methods? Those are discouraged by a crop insurance program in need of serious overhaul.

We have joined in the fight to make these issues, and many more, known far and wide. We have put our name and reputation on the line, for just one example, to publicly demand an immediate and indefinite moratorium on mergers and acquisitions in the big agribusiness sector, and we are seeking out politicians and challengers who are willing to take up the same fight. Name one of our competitors who has done that.

You, the American farmer, are needed now more than ever to ensure our nation’s food security. We, simply put, are just here to help. Thankfully, so are our industry partners.

On-farm grain storage is still what we do best. We initially began this company in partnership with Chief Agri, because we both shared the goal of providing the highest-quality and strongest storage solutions a farmer could buy. While we still rely on Chief Agri as an amazing ally, we recognized the need to provide lower-cost options that still meet our own internal demands for excellence. We made a phone call to Sioux Steel to fill that gap. We already trusted them to provide us with some of the best livestock equipment on the market, so it was only natural to offer their farm and commercial bins as well.

If you are reading this and wishing you could buy new bins this year, we understand. We have also been building strategic partnerships to help clients improve the efficiency of their existing on-farm storage facilities. We offer the latest and greatest portable belt and drive-over conveyors, under-floor bin unloads, paddle sweeps, and wireless monitoring systems available to ensure that you are shipping the highest quality goods when it is time to sell your crop.

By “greatest”, we mean they are built by manufacturers who share our quality-first ideal. When we were not satisfied with any portable grain pumps on the market, we decided to start designing our own rather than settle for someone else’s. We are even exploring new technology in the dryer space to see if we can make a new market there.

To keep the long story short, we are continuing in our mission to be more of a partner than merely a provider to our clients. Do we fully understand all of your day to day struggles on the farm? Probably not, but we’re always eager to listen and learn. We became part of a new non-profit organization, Farm Protection Alliance, and will be sponsoring their efforts to be a voice for livestock and crop producers against large agribusiness monopolies and fraudulent advocacy groups that put the actual growers second - because we know America’s food security needs its next generation of farmers and ranchers to be able to succeed.

Whether you want to order new livestock equipment or grain bins, desire us to consult on your current facility and future expansion plans, or just want to discuss the current state of America’s farming, we’re always happy to talk. Even better if you want to educate us. Reach out anytime at 870-761-4225 or bailey@buffalograin.com.
