First Forced Ventilation Hay Drier Installed in Mercer County
Eleanor Grace Palmer assists her brother George M. Palmer Jr. with Mercer county’s first forced ventilation hay drier on the Shady Grove farm in Ceres West Virginia. The system, introduced in Southwest Virginia in 1940 by the Appalachian Electric Power Company, speeds curing, improves hay quality and reduces weather risk. It uses a motor and blower to distribute warm air through ducts over the mowed hay, lowering moisture to safe storage levels and boosting mow capacity about 50 percent versus field drying.
