      its not about pay, its about salvage and hoping to seed another crop. Leaving that crop rot in the field may pencil better but also might not not be seeded in the spring.

        Get an old recirculation dryer and art it up next to pile. Fill with a front end loader.



        Or rent a quick clean run it through there to remove any ice/ snow and it'll flow better.

          I have 5000 bu in one pile and 8000 in another (drier stuff and closer to home) I have a morridge 400 bu recirculating batch drier so I'll start with 100 bu of dry grain and go in 300 bushel batches to keep stuff flowing. I guess january is shot but maybe I can get up north for febuary...

            If you let the piles get hot, they dry really quick in the dryer, but its risky as if your dryer breaks down and you fall behind the mould will set in, but maybe not at minus 15
