Challenge
Golden Grain Energy needed to expand its production capacity. To meet the rising demand, the ethanol plant required a significant expansion in its grain storage capacity.
Solution
To address this challenge, the solution was the construction of the world's largest grain bin. This state-of-the-art facility not only increased storage but also enhanced the plant's receiving capacity, enabling more efficient grain handling.

The newly built grain bin, provided by Buresh Building Systems, was a record-breaker in 2021 with a 165-foot diameter and a peak height of 155 feet and 7 inches. It can store up to 2.25 million bushels of grain. This setup marked a significant advancement over the previous record, offering more space and efficiency for grain storage. It was deemed the largest free-span grain bin in the world in 2021. The previous record holder, also designed and manufactured by Sukup, had a diameter of 156 feet.
