OK let’s run the fan when it is 10 C or 50 F outside — what does the calculator give us — it says the threshold relative humidity is 93%. So even though the air temp outside is the same as your corn temp; as long as the RH outside is less than 93%, you wi

High moisture corn (18 to 20%) can be added in 4 feet layers on top of dry grain if the fan can provide at least 3 to 4 cfm/bu through the total depth in the bin. Level corn inside each drying bin continuously – never allow coning to occur.

Extreme heat is the biggest concern as it does break down certain vitamins and nutrients. As long as feed is dry and not stored in extreme heat it will last a very long time. If your storage area doesn't get much over 80F then 3-4 months is not expecting

Level the bin after coring.Un-level grain results in uneven airflow. The centre of the bin can take 50-80% longer to dry (Figure 1). It may take several hours to level a bin …

2019-12-16 · We've seen drydown rates less than 0.3 percent per day. On the other hand, warm, dry weather speeds drying; kernels can lose up to 1.0 percent moisture per day with excellent drying weather. Considering that corn at maturity has about 30 perc

In the past this storage was short-term, from harvest until early spring. However, times have changed drastically. Now, storage periods of 12 months or longer are common. As a result, grain remains undisturbed for long intervals, including the high risk,

Time Required for Cooling The time required to cool grain to the approximate tempera-ture of the ambient air depends largely on airflow rate, foreign material in the grain, and the amount of evaporative cooling (drying) that takes place. For dry grain, wh

The husks of corn (Zea mays) break down in suitable conditions and produce a rich, moist compost. An annual plant, corn produces stalks, leaves, husks and corn cobs, and all these parts can be used in compost making, along with other fresh and dry plant d
