  3. Topics for ANR Update – Oct. 24, 2012 • Grain shrink calculator • Grain hauling • Wheat seeding rates and costs • Harvest corn wet or field dry? • Storage capacities • Round bins, tanks, silos • Flat storage and outdoor piles

  4. Moisture and Handling Shrink Equation % Shrink where,Mo = initial moisture, % MF= final moisture, % HS = handling shrink (0.25 to 1.0)

  5. For corn… For soybeans…

  6. Grain Hauling Costs

  7. Wheat Seeding Rates and Cost/ac

  8. Wheat Seeding Rates and Cost/ac

  9. Harvest Corn Wet or Field Dry?

  10. Corn Harvest Losses Min. 1 – 2 % Avg. 2 – 5 %

  11. Medium or High Harvest Losses?

  12. Storage Capacity – Grain Bins

  13. Storage Capacity – Sheds

  14. Storage Capacity – Sheds

  15. Storage Capacity – Piles

  16. Some Current Projects • Updating BAE web site • Working with agricultural engineers from KS and GA to develop software for calculating grain factors for USDA grain inspectors (inventory records) • Updating Midwest Plan Service Handbook on Grain Drying, Handling and Storage (MWPS-13) • SARE grant for organic corn production in KY--meeting in Bowling Green on Wed. Jan 16 • Solar PV panels for CES offices in TVA area (pending DEDI funding)
