Woops forgot to turn the fans off tonight on the 6 percent canola when the emc content of the air is 20 percent. My bad.

sounds like about a $1.85 for every gallon of water you add.

by my back-of-the-napkin calcs, you have to add about 3 gallons of water for every tonne of canola you want to raise by 1% moisture.

A 10,000 bushel bin needs about 2000 gallons to get it up by 3% moisture! Equivalent of about $4000 per bin or about 40 cents per bushel.

maybe leave the bin lids open for the rain this week?

lol

Why aren't our oh so producer helpful
Farm groups lobbying for the dry grain benefit? Think of the money we re being screwed by just this fall alone. Do any of those producer groups have any idea about these things?

yea it's ok for your local co-op meat market to add water to your chicken breasts or ground beef , but not for the lowly farmer growing wheat and canola for the same price as in 1980 , what a f$&king joke . I don't know how we're doing it at these prices

From what I can "assume".... volume. Now doing it on half or two thirds of that volume. Although this isn't about the difference between you and me, your profitable price/bu point is alot lower than mine. But that is my problem.
