Sukup is Focused on Farm Efficiency
Farm efficiency remains a hot topic. You may want to reduce your carbon footprint, better monitor nutrient usage, or cut back on energy use. It takes planning and time and impacts all aspects of the farm operation.
We want to help. At Sukup Manufacturing Co. we are creating more automation, decision-support tools, and integrating digital technology in grain bins and on our plant floor. Farming requires a lot of mechanics, input costs, organization, and valuable time. If we can help the farmer save on any of these, we're driving toward improved farm efficiency.
Top three reasons Sukup can help with Farm Efficiency:
1. Burn Less Fuel with Mixed Flow Dryers
2. Energy Efficiency Farm Grants
3. Meet Production Demand
Burn Less Fuel with Mixed Flow Dryers:
Farm sizes are on the rise. With the growth comes the need to do more as efficiently as possible. The Mixed Flow is the only dryer on the market that has the option of vacuum cooling that allows the farmer to control how much cooling he wants to do. It combines the grain quality of a mixed-flow dryer with the vacuum-cooling efficiency of a tower dryer. The result is high test weight grain while burning less fuel per bushel dried. Read more...
Energy Efficiency Farm Grants:
Recently, Sukup worked with Chad Kloberdanz with Kloberdanz Consulting. His focus is Energy Efficiency Solutions for Rural America. While based out of Iowa, Chad travels around the country helping producers evaluate their current energy usage. The goal is to look at all parts of the operation to determine ways to cut back energy usage and ultimately improve the bottom line with farm grants. Read more...
Meet Production Demand:
Sukup Manufacturing Co. is now operating in a fourth north Iowa community. Earlier this year, the company started developing a production facility in the old Serta building located on the south side of Clear Lake. It’s a momentous time to expand the Sukup® Dryer line. 2023 marks 25 years since the company started making dryers. 2023 is also 60 years in business for the family-owned and operated bin and grain-handling manufacturer.
