Farmers Store Seeds, Grains, and More in Shipping Containers

Approximately 44 percent of Ohio and 50% of Kentucky is farmland, with soybeans and corn topping the list of crops for both. It’s no surprise that savvy farmers have used shipping containers to “silo” them.

  • Farm Implement Storage

    For example, farmers purchase shipping containers to store their gear. Farm equipment implements, or tractors, are housed on farms within 200 miles of Cincinnati in new and used shipping containers. This extends and expands the size and locations of their barns and reduces their overhead costs.

  • Seed and Grain Storage

    Additionally, Ohio and Kentucky farmers have converted shipping containers into seed and grain siloes. Modified with wooden bulkheads, these storage containers reduce spillage compared to traditional grain siloes. As a result, fewer seeds scatter to the ground. This deters rodents—especially mice and rats.
