Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the time and labor required and the cost of receiving grain sorghum, and (2) increase the rate of receiving by improving handling methods, equipment, or facility layouts. Increased production of grain sorghum and a shorter harvesting period have resulted in more and larger deliveries of grain sorghum to elevators in the Southwest in a shorter period of time. Elevator operators can handle the larger volume more efficiently, without major changes in plant layout, by adopting the improved work practices and equipment suggested in this report. Recommendations also are made for improving the traffic pattern and arrangement of equipment at the elevator and the construction and location of the dump pit.
