Purpose<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To train stakeholders in grain conditioning concepts, planning and use of weather data including using sensors and apps for aeration scheduling, detection of hotspots, hydration of grain (soybeans and corn) to appropriate moisture content to minimize shrink costs, fan sizing, aeration requirements, handling grain in different sized bins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Format<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a one-day school which includes a combination of hands-on training, lecture and discussions, and problem-solving using feed mill grain storage facilities for problem solving. By attending this school, participants will be able to plan and schedule aeration, understand and utilize sensor and weather data to minimize bushels lost to shrink and poor grain quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Row crop farmers
Stored grain handlers
Grain bin manufacturers
Sensor and App users for grain management
Grain storage and handling equipment manufacturers
Professional engineers and consultants
Landowners
Anyone interested in stored grain conditioning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
