Johnny pll with a extreme ag. You know, we're out here today looking at this grain dryer we're running right now and everything's
00:00:05
running really smooth on it. The temperature outside today's in the mid eighties, which for this time of year for us is very unusual.
00:00:11
We're actually drying corn right now. Almost at the end of October we planted some corn behind wheat, so it got put in the middle of June.
00:00:18
So it's just now coming off and we got this drain dryer kicked up the other day and it's running really smooth.
00:00:23
You know, we always talk about mixed flow dryers, the pros and cons of 'em. You know, one of the biggest positive things about
00:00:28
'em is the efficiency of them. That dryer is really efficient. It's cost us, you know, seven 8 cents electricity
00:00:34
and fuel included the dry corn down from the 21, 20 3% range down to uh, 15%.
00:00:40
So it's real efficient in that. The other thing I like about a mixed flow dryer is the quality of the corn, you know,
00:00:46
and we're sitting here chesting this corn as it's coming out, moisture's coming out right at 15 5, 15 8, something like that.
00:00:52
But since this corn doesn't ever get really hot and it's constantly flipping it back and forth, the quality of the corn is a premium.
00:00:58
You got really good test weight with it. And what I love about a mixed flow dryer is when it comes outta my dryer, it is ambient temperature.
00:01:05
So like today the corn's coming out 83, 85 degrees, something like that coming out. It don't have to go into bin and sweat.
00:01:11
It comes out ready to go off to the elevator and I don't have to run fans for several days to cool it off and get that sweat out of it.
00:01:17
So, you know, big things about it is the quality. You can't beat the quality in a mixed flow dryer. They've got a lot of things figured out
00:01:24
and I always say all the time about a superior grain dryer there is, the fans are all at the bottom.
00:01:29
So anytime I have to work on it, all the belts are at the bottom, all the electric motors are at the bottom.
00:01:33
It's very easy to get to. You don't have to have a crane come out and help. 00:01:36.835 --> 00:01:38.645
