The Grain Weevil An Ag Robot Doing the Work that No Human Should!
What we do
The Grain Weevil robot protects people and profits by
controlling risk, costs, and actively optimizing stored grain.
"Build me a robot so I never have to go into a grain bin again!"
A few years ago, our friend Zach challenged us to build him a robot so neither he nor his kids would ever have to go in a grain bin again. Grain bins are hot, dirty, and dangerous work places. To adequately manage stored grain farmers are exposed to potential falls, entrapments, auger entanglements, and long term conditions such as Farmer’s Lung. On the nearly 450,000 American farms with grain bins, farmers take these risks over six million times a year. Grain needs to be managed during the entire storage process and a farmer with a shovel has always been the best solution. Unfortunately, there are nearly 25 entrapment deaths per year. Even worse, one out of every five grain bin accidents are teenage boys.
Company's story
The Grain Weevil is a grain bin safety and management robot that directly engages the surface of the grain. Grain bins are dirty, dangerous workplaces. We keep that farmer with a shovel out of the bin by leveling, breaking crusts, doing inspections and feeding grain into the extraction augers.

With our headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska,
The Grain Weevil owes our success to location, opportunity, and community.
The Grain Weevil is a grain bin safety and management robot that engages the surface of the grain. We replace a farmer with a shovel by leveling bins, breaking crusts, doing inspections and feeding grain into the extraction augers.
