In today’s grain industry, technology matters, but the people behind the technology matter just as much.
That’s why growers and commercial operations across the Midwest are turning to experienced dealers like Ben Jones, owner of Grain Tech and an authorized OPI dealer, for trusted grain management guidance, installation, and support.
With more than 10 years of construction experience and the last few years dedicated to agricultural technology, Ben brings a unique combination of practical field knowledge and advanced grain management expertise to every project.
Experience That Starts with the Installation
For many operations, one of the biggest concerns when adopting grain management technology is installation quality and long-term reliability. Ben believes that working with a certified OPI dealer helps eliminate uncertainty from the very beginning.
“As an authorized OPI dealer, you know things are going to be done correctly the first time,” says Ben.
That experience matters when installing systems designed to protect valuable grain inventory through every season. From cable placement and monitoring hardware to connectivity and automation integration, proper installation lays the foundation for long-term performance.
With years spent in construction environments, Ben understands how to work efficiently around existing infrastructure while helping customers implement systems that fit their operation today and scale for future growth.
More Than Technology, A Trusted Advisor
While grain monitoring systems continue to become more advanced, Ben believes customer support is what truly separates a good experience from a frustrating one.
“Our customers know they aren’t just buying technology, but partnering with a trusted advisor,” Ben explains. “We take great pride in our service and always fixing issues in a manner that meets our customers’ needs.”
One of the advantages of modern grain management systems is the ability to diagnose and resolve many issues remotely. Ben says remote support has become one of the most valuable tools for helping customers quickly and efficiently.
“I really enjoy the ability to offer remote support. Many times I can work through fixes over the phone with the customer. If an on-site call is needed, I know exactly what I am walking into.”
That combination of local dealer service and OPI technical support gives customers confidence that help is always available when they need it most.
“With OPI’s customer support behind our dealership, we haven’t found an issue we haven’t been able to fix.”
Bringing the Latest Grain Management Innovation to Farmers
As grain storage challenges continue to evolve, Ben says OPI’s commitment to innovation is one of the reasons he continues to stand behind the platform.
“OPI continues to innovate in the grain management industry and bring real solutions that farmers and commercial partners are asking for,” says Ben.
He points specifically to two of OPI’s newest technologies as examples of where grain management is headed.
“I’m especially excited about their new OMNI cable and EPIQ systems. They absolutely lead the way in the grain management industry.”
The patented OPI OMNI™ cable combines temperature, moisture, and grain level sensing into a single cable system, helping simplify installation while delivering more comprehensive grain visibility.
Meanwhile, OPI EPIQ+™ continues advancing remote monitoring and automation capabilities (currently in field testing) with rugged hardware, scalable infrastructure, and improved operational visibility designed for both farm and commercial applications.
Together, these technologies help operations:
- Protect grain quality
- Reduce shrink and spoilage
- Improve storage efficiency
- Monitor grain remotely
- Make faster management decisions
- Reduce unnecessary labor and bin entry
