"Cage" Prevents Grain Bin Plug-Ups
“It greatly reduces the chance that you’ll ever have to go into a grain bin to break up clogs,” says Colin Blume, Redfield, S. Dak, about his new “grain cage”.
  It’s designed to be installed before you fill the bin. The unit consists of lengths of 1/2-in. dia. steel rod formed into a triangle. Sickle sections are welded onto the rods, which are spaced about 5 in. apart. The sickle sections on top of the unit break the crust, and the unit’s sloping sides push it off to the side so grain can flow through.
  The Grain Cage fits all size bins and sells for $300 plus S&H. A round model designed for smaller bins up to 40,000 bu. is also available and sells for $250 plus S&H.
