Drying Grain Best Bet For Most Producers
Elwyn Holmes of Kansas State University notes on farm drying facilities saving time and money. Farmers with drying equipment avoid field losses by harvesting at high moisture and drying before storage. For those without facilities, options include wet handling, silage mixing, custom drying, or on farm purchase. Drying grain at 23 to 30 percent moisture can be stored in silos or enclosed spaces. Now may be the time for farmers to invest in grain drying equipment.
