Will you change??

[agchat]

After reading the Western Producer this morning, and thinking probably that most on here do get it, here is my question.
After reading the article on grain aeration, in 7-8 months when it comes time to flip those fans on, will you make the change, or do you really care? Do you agree with the article, or will you argue his facts? If you disagree, then what points do you disagree on?
OR, do you even give a rats ass, and just keep doing what you have been doing for years?

After hearing Palmer talk last year at IHARF meeting, I tried aeration at night this year. Seemed to work well, but not enough crop to give it a good try. The logic is there, but totally against everything we have ever been told about aeration.
No one has ever done a study like this.

It starts on front page a western producer, then Kevin Hursh also talks about it in his column

presentation will be on iharf.ca eventually. Not there yet.

I have not read the article yet, but someone mentioned airing at night? Maybe I live too far north but my advice if worth anything and from experience is turn the fans off at night. Unless you get a dryer night which is not very common one would be adding moisture to the grain. Kinda defeating the purpose. I have had no ill effects from turning fans off at night, with the occational all nighter.

Hopper I agree we do the same for Airation
Turn off at night on in day. But the Grain
dryer is better.

Thanks for the link charlie.

It makes sense to me. Can anyone say "paradigm shift?"
