sw Nebraska | I am in extreme SW Nebraska where humidity's during bean harvest can dip to 20's and below. I am tired of the yield loss delivering 9 moisture beans. If we start harvesting at 13 by the end of the day we can be 9. The elevators don't even want to take 16% moisture beans and the drying charges kill you. They have it figured out.
I would like to put 16 moisture in a natural air bin with 1cfm per bushel, probably more airflow than that at shallow depths. I am thinking just taking the heat of the day off and they will be dry? Anyone do this ? Especially anyone in the arid High Plains. I could run the Sentry pac also and set it at 13 but thinking it unnecessary. I took the stirrors out of this bin so that is not an option.
I don't anticipate long term storage but it is a possibility depending on the market and if there is a carry. | |
