Buffalo Grain Systems is setting the benchmark for quality and durability with its high-end grain storage equipment and consultancy services. A farmer's dedication to the harvest process is matched by a trusted partner committed to designing grain systems that maximize efficiency, stand the test of time, and deliver flawless performance for the next 40 years.
“This mindset stems from my industrial and federal construction career, where I prioritized building it right the first time to avoid the need for warranty work or callbacks,” says Bailey Buffalo, founder.
Each of Buffalo Grain Systems’ projects begins with a blank slate, enabling a design that meets the client’s current needs while accommodating future growth and expansion.
The strong emphasis on quality led to a partnership with Chief Agri, the company’s primary supplier of bins, belt and drag conveyors, and bucket elevators. Chief Agri shares the same commitment to excellence, delivering durable, industry-leading performance. From steel strength to corrugation design and galvanized coating thickness, along with the strongest standard roof in the industry, their equipment really frees Buffalo Grain Systems up to provide the longest-lasting solutions for farm and commercial grain storage.
Distinguishing Buffalo Grain Systems is its willingness to go the extra mile. It provides a tailored quote only after conducting a thorough inspection and assessment of the site conditions. The Buffalo team is currently working with a client in Louisiana to select the optimal location for their 500k bushel facility, factoring in truck traffic and the proximity of natural gas lines to accommodate future dryer upgrades.
In a separate project, when a farmer in Tunica, Mississippi, required additional storage for 100,000 bushels, the team encountered a unique challenge: the leased farm lacked sufficient space for additional bins.
With the bins already ordered, the team had to quickly plan the foundation. They first had all the equipment moved off the farm and instructed the farmer to bring his semi-truck with a grain trailer. They identified possible locations for the bins that would still allow truck access, used AutoCAD overlaid on Google Earth, and visualized the layout and pinpointed the only spot where the bins could be placed without disrupting farm operations.
Unlike the farmer’s previous experience, where two other companies provided quotes without visiting the site, the team took the time to conduct an in-person assessment to not overlook any critical detail. A geotechnical survey was performed to evaluate the expansive clay soil, ensuring a stable foundation. They also identified the lack of proper utilities on the farm and arranged for the installation of a new power bank. The holistic approach resulted in a custom storage solution tailored to the farmer’s immediate needs and engineered for long-term stability.
Buffalo Grain Systems goes beyond equipment installation by proactively offering maintenance services, even when not covered by contract. Each year, the team visits farmers before harvest season to inspect equipment and perform preventative maintenance, minimizing the risk of unexpected breakdowns during this busy period.
In addition, Buffalo Grain Systems responds swiftly to maintenance or breakdown calls, with the support of Chief Agri, which ensures reliable response times and confirms part availability and delivery timelines within 12 hours. This quick access to parts proved crucial when a farmer with an older bin experienced simultaneous failure of eight fans. With two fans available in local inventory and a quick call to Chief Agri to source more, the farmer was able to restore cooling and protect the harvested grain.
With a focus on long-term reliability and operational efficiency, Buffalo Grain Systems is the trusted partner for creating robust, sustainable agricultural solutions.
