How this works in Alberta
Handling is where harvest time goes. A good leg-and-auger layout cuts the hours per load and the number of times someone climbs a bin.
Design from throughput backward. How many bushels per hour do you need to move in the busiest week, and where do trucks queue? The answer sets leg size, pit design, and the number of transfer points.
Guarding and controls are not optional. Modern installs include emergency stops, lockout, and clear access, which protect workers and reduce liability.
Handling equipment is often eligible only as part of a wider on-farm efficiency or capital program. Check current lists before you buy.

Common questions
How do I size a grain leg?
From your peak bushels per hour and how your trucks and bins are laid out. An installer can calculate it.
Are permits required?
Electrical work needs a permit. Confirm county rules for any new structure.
