But if you were to stop on your drive home and take a closer look at one, there's a good chance you'd see the name 'Sukup' written on the side. \nSteve Sukup is the Chairman of Sukup Manufacturing. Back in 1963, the company started off making grain stirrers, but they've since expanded their offerings to become one of the world's largest manufacturers of grain storage, drying, and handling equipment. \nSteve joins us to explain why grain bins are such an integral part of American animal agriculture — including the egg industry, and how a commitment to innovation, along with a willingness to take risks, has led to incredible success. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Aucz1MN1EQRKspXWBjkV9tO3Om_oi1lGkPvsJPYDvcc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMTIw/OTEzNTEyYzc0ODEx/MTNjZDdmZTU0MzU4/YzljNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
