Friday thank you notes

[furrowtickler]

We did 2500 bus canola in one bin at 12.5 moisture down to 9 in 2 days at 150 deg . Cooled over night and hauled it in .
Again still learning as we go here.

Furrow; do you know if you're getting any moisture change when you cool the grain down and if so how much? How are you measuring your air temp? Are these temps you're talking about what the machine is set to or are you measuring it at the air fan on the bin? Conley guys said they're losing almost half the temp between what machine is set at and what the air is coming out of the rocket at. As a side note it sounds like these Conley guys are out to lunch with their pricing. They want $10,650 for a month rent!!! You're unit sounds just as good for 1/3 the price! I'm Arctic Therm a call...

Yes if anyone want tech info call them.
We got ours from Brett at Morinville .
They do have a 1-800 number .
They were excellent to talk to a give info on drying grain .

If that cash went to revamping their super computers to generate the GDPS and RDPS models, it was a waste of cash. Those models have been the most consistently wrong out of all of them IMO this year.

Who else can better predict the weather forecast in (place community name here), SK CANADA than a weather app from Norway?
They may be slightly off but no !ALERTS! at 4:30 am every day.
I don’t like the existing situation but good grief, give your balls a tug and look out the window, you will figure it out for yourself.
The reliance on technology for weather, machinery, agronomy, daily driving vehicles, domestic schedules/ marching orders is disgusting. Who is farming who?

Furrow; do you mind me asking what the approx cost was to rent a 600K btu unit? I'm looking a Artic Therm or Conelly Max. The 700k btu Conelly is $2850/week and burns about 100gal fuel every 13hrs. How is the AT on fuel? Did you run them 24/7? How big are your air fans on bin? Any spoilage? how full did you fill the 5000's? I'm dealing with 26,000 cold barley that quite damp and want to get it down about 4 points to go to feedlot. Thanks.

Rent fir $2850.00/ week ?
You can buy a frost fighter heater for near that
I have not compared specs on the two heaters but I am quite sure you will burn more diesel with frost fighter. I used a frost fighter to add heat to aeration to dry hemp. It worked so well somebody stole it!!

Yes frost fighters work very well too .

About 2.5usg/h for my 375000btu model.

Well, yr.no has us down for a fair bit of cloud and small showers for Oct 20-22. If that computer in Norway is right I'll send it a bitcoin. If it's wrong I'll send it a power surge

Furrow do you have temp cables in your bins? If so, how warm does the grain get as it is close to dry? I was assuming that you had 160-180F air going into the bin, but perhaps the temp is measured internal on the heater and the temp going into the grain is much less.
