    Frozen canola ??

    What moisture can 15% green canola be stored on air for 2 weeks ?
    It's going to be cool enough at nights after this next rain / snow event to put air on and keep it cool. It was still at 14-15% moisture last Friday .
    Hopefully it's 12 or lower today.
    Just never had to deal with garbage like this before.

    If you leave the fan on it will stay for a long time but shut off for a day or two and boom

      Rotate a load or two and I would put supplemental heat on she'll dry.

        Should turn it. Neighbour aired a bin of 14% and it channeled and heated. Have a couple tough bins which I've turned once. Had enough heated couple years ago and stuff that didn't heat was turned.

          One thing to watch, if you use air, make sure top of canola in bin is levelled so air moves evenly through grain. Air will find the quickest route out and if moves out the edges of bin the center may run into spoilage issues.

              Didn't know that. Great advice.

                  At 15% green even when you get it dried I would be worried..that shit is unstable.

                  Im guessing you were wanting to blend it out as other good stuff goes out?? (I would)

                    Well that was the plan if it was below 12.5 moisture and 10% green
                    It will be sitting till next week now
                    Did 2500 bus today , outside rounds and a few areas in field trying to find out where it's at .
                    It can sit till last minute now
