Well. 250 acres times 50 bu an acre would be 12,500 bushels.
In a bad year you might hope to get to 30bu an acre, in a great year and really paying attention to detail you might get more than 80 bu an acre beans. So, would a 15,000 to 20,000 bu bin be about right? But if he rotates with corn, then corn would yield 120-220 bu an acre and would need a pretty good drying system. Some real investment.
It�s hard to wrap my head around drying beans very often, does just blowing air work there, or do you need heat too? A simple setup with a metal floor with holes and a big fan to air dry wouldn�t be too bad. If you need to add heat then drying grain becomes complicated and expensive. More or less drying beans is hard, as they dry too fast so you end up with some wet beans on top and way over dry beans on the bottom.
Drying a crop is about airflow, so setting something up inside a shed already there sounds very suspicious, it�s not how things work for the scale size of 250 acres of crop. Growing and handling grain is a lot different than growing and storing hay, I think there might be a huge learning curve here?
