Revolutionizing grain bin safety with Grain Weevil Corp
In this episode of the Feed & Grain Podcast [https://www.feedandgrain.com/expert-insights/podcasts], host Steven Kilger [https://www.feedandgrain.com/home/contact/15391861/steven-kilger-fg] speaks with Chad Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Grain Weevil Corp [https://www.grainweevil.com/], about their groundbreaking grain bin robot technology. Designed to eliminate the need for people to enter filled grain bins, the Grain Weevil robot aims to address one of the most dangerous aspects of grain handling and storage. Chad shares the story of how a father-son project evolved into a cutting-edge ag-tech startup, the challenges of building a robot for such a hazardous environment, and their mission of "no boots in the grain."
The conversation covers how this innovative robot, which uses auger-based propulsion, can level grain, break up crusts, and help optimize grain quality, all while keeping farmers and workers safely outside of bins. They also discuss the regulatory hurdles, production phases, and exciting progress in on-farm trials, along with the company's plans for future commercialization.
