I would like to know where I can find out how many registered grain hoppers there are in the 48 United States. Question number 2, about how often you all need a washout?

Thanks,

I don't think there is an accurate way to count the number of hoppers out there because there is no guarantee a hopper owned it is actually being run or where (stays on the farm vs OTR)... The washout depends on the previous product and the requirements of the next load or the driver's discretion.
