SW KS, near Dodge City | Because it would be a huge PITA to load from a grain cart. Notice those neat little round access ports on top? Do you want to try to hit that with the grain cart auger at 11:00 at night when the dust is flying? I know all the unit trains only have small (relatively) ports on top to load, but they're also loading from an elevator spout that's designed only for that purpose.
I would bet that by the time you buy/fab all of the parts it would be just as cheap, and probably cheaper, to buy a grain trailer for hauling and a straight truck for your seed needs.
I agree that it's a great idea, but if you notice the conditions they're dumping into... Well, I don't know about where you farm, but I know I've never seen a stainless steel grain bin, so I'm assuming that whatever they're hauling is probably pretty high-value. Something along the lines of an industrial-use product would be my guess.
Just my .001 cent.
