How This Grain Cart Can Fill a Hopper Trailer in 60 Seconds

Description

About this video

In 1960, a stranger handed two brothers $10,000 because the bank wouldn't. Sixty-six years later, their family business builds America's largest and fastest single-auger grain cart — shipped to farmers in 19 countries.

We spent the day inside J&M Manufacturing in Fort Recovery, Ohio — a 13-building, 11-acre family-owned factory most farmers have never toured. From the auger that nobody sees (but does all the work) to the 30-kilowatt laser cutting steel in 45 minutes instead of 12 hours, this is how America's most trusted grain cart gets built — and the story of the family behind it.

Special thanks to Scott Greasup, Connor, Mike, and the entire J&M team for opening every door, every welder, and every story.
