Drying Grain....

[fjlip]

You go every minute you can until your done.

I know several farmers dying with boots on...feeding the chain/ungrateful population. If it was Ag more than ever, we would be fairly sharing the final price of products.

It would be nice if grain companies would custom dry everything for us at cost.
But that's not their business model.

Boots on??
Guess I missed the memo that said someone gave a damn.

The only thing worse than drying grain is not being able to dry grain and sitting not being able to go
Dried 10000 bu oats yesterday from 16 in the field , small aetup
Hauled them out , no lineups , keeps a guy sane anyways lol
And no they dont give a shit about us

So if I had 19 wheat in Early to mid September I could pull 5% out and get it to 14% moisture? I have never tried adding a little heat early in the year. Done a little emergency drying in November. Would be a useful tool early in my harvest if I could do tougher grains.

Yep pulled off 20% durum yestarday you can guess what im setting up this morning.

I'm not looking for "something for nothing"!
I can't run a fan or add supplemental heat, from any source, for free!
I anyone going to pay me for my efforts and extra costs?
Or is it business as usual and try to **** value out of me with frivolous grading issues!
I am being given an opportunity to grab some grain off the field....at a reasonably manageable moisture levels....not dry but not insanely damp either....I think I better take that opportunity....even though all I preach about is not trusting forecasts...there seems to be a "trend", not a good harvest weather trend.

And yes, any unused commercial drying capacity is a shame and waste.

Take care you guys!

Any raw commodity has a market value at a set spec. The producers cost is his problem. Kinda how the world has always worked.

Selling excellent HRSW at 1970’s prices does not justify to much extra expenses..... this is a ducking joke if the industry even remotely thinks we can continue like this . Been told canola will be below $9 as soon as harvest ramps up

Then add in carbon tax and a seed tax . There is duck all left after a full year of hard work .... something has to change

When awp built the tahg mahal in 1998 the rep said farmers will be able to sell their dryers, he still has his.
