Why Crop Drying Pays

SOME GRAINS ARE FULLY MATURED AT 35% MOISTURE -
then, quality begins to deteriorate. Corn drying reduces field losses up to 95%:

1-1/2% Loss @ 30% moisture - in field
4% Loss @ 20% moisture - in field
15% Loss @ 15% moisture - in field

USDA SAYS UP TO 20% CAN BE LOST AFTER NOVEMBER 15th.

HARVEST EARLY! AND DRY TO AVOID EXCESSIVE LOSSES!

FIELD SHELLING AND DRYING ON THE FARM:
1. Reduces Labor
2. Less Grain Handling
3. Grain Ready for Immediate Marketing
    or Storing in Less Space.
4. Earlier Harvesting		    
 5. Less Field Loss
6. No Dockage For Moisture
7. Higher Grade Grain
8. Earlier Plowing After Harvest

HARVEST EARLIER AND HARVEST MORE -
because you beat: Rain, Wind, Hail, Insects and Rodents. Many crops are totally lost by waiting on Mother Nature to dry in field. Less labor, cribbing eliminated and shelling from crib eliminated.
