Until now, grit and determination have been your greatest asset. Grain Weevil: No boots in the grain.

[Grain Weevil @Grain_Weevil]

You know the risks inside a grain bin — and you’re not taking chances. With the Grain Weevil robot, you manage your grain and protect your health without stepping into danger. Avoid dust, entanglements, and falls — because your safety isn’t optional.

Grain Weevil has made it to Brazil! We are at Agrishow with our partners Ag4Up and our hosts Procer, introducing the robot to farmers and Agri-businesses from around the world.

Managing grain bins is tough work. It's time consuming, exhausting, and, worst of all–dangerous. That's why we built the Grain Weevil robot. Let the Grain Weevil do the hard work for you so you can keep your boots out of the bin.

@Grain_Weevil I am very excited about this tweet - we currently have 51 robots out in the wild “doing the work no human should” - it’s time to get one on your farm #AgTwitter - the robot helps with clean out efficiency and sets your bin up for success post harvest.

[Grain Weevil @Grain_Weevil]

Grain Weevil robots are available now for May delivery. Right now, get $500 off your robot package. Get yours in time to clean out your bins and be set up for success next harvest. Contact your local BinAssist Partner or head to https://t.co/ttNxKidgtF to lock in your robot.

Farmers, a friendly reminder while you prepare for grain bin clean out season. The easiest way to prevent Farmer’s Lung is by limiting exposure. Grain Weevil is helping keep farmers healthy by keeping them out of the bin.

[Grain Weevil @Grain_Weevil]

Moisture content matters–how grain is leveled affects drying efficiency. When grain is piled unevenly air struggles to move through the bin. A level grain bin isn’t just about storage; it’s about maximizing efficiency & protecting farmers' investments–because every kernel counts.

#NSFSBIR @Grain_Weevil is keeping farmers safe with a life-saving robot that keeps humans out of dangerous confinements like grain bins. A father-son duo designed a robot that can break up crusts and level, inspect, feed and map grain.
