Freeze Drying

Might be a dumb question. With minus 10 tonight will that draw moisture out of the kernels? I have heard rumors of this. Again I have no experience in these kind of conditions.

Does with wind and low humidity.

Sublimation

Same as the ice evaporating off the highway in the cold days in winter.

It’s hard to get low humidity at night here. Lately starting around 5pm or so the dew starts to settle and the humidity all night is 90%. Hardly any wind this year here! And any day time breezes are totally calm at night. So with below normal temperatures and I would also say below normal wind.

Freezing helps a lot to dry grain especially if you get a cold night and then a decent day following, problem we have right now is you get all the frosty ice in the am and it's not warm enough to burn it off during the day. Once we either get warmer daytime temps or get past the point of having to sc**** windshields you'll be surprised how dry and how easy the combining gets.

Wish I could say the same, central AB still getting our daily shower/snow, nothing going on here. Big amounts of snow forcast for next couple days, ground white again overnight.
