Which is an effective grain bin monitoring system?

Image
Most grain bins built today have some type of grain monitoring system installed. These grain bin monitoring systems are usually grain sensors that are installed directly into the grain storage bin walls and ceilings. These grain detectors monitor grain temperature, grain moisture content, grain weight changes, and grain bin fullness. Some of these grain bin sensors also have high levels of accuracy for detecting insects in stored grain such as beetles and weevils.  Grain moisture content is a major factor to be considered when storing your harvested wheat this winter season because wetter wheat will attract mold spores which may result in your harvested wheat becoming infected with molds or mildew that you do not want around your house when you go to use it next spring. We suggest grain farmers use Farm Shop's Grain Moisture Monitor System as it is a simple and effective way for grain storage life. Farm Shop provides moisture monitoring systems and grain storage fan automation so ...

EndZone Fan Controls: An Effective device for controlling the moisture content of the stored grains.

Image
It is a well-known fact that most of the grains (either cereals or oilseeds) need to be  aerated before they are stored. This process helps in maintaining an effective    moisture monitoring system . The farmers usually turn on and off the aeration  fans when they measure a certain level of temperature of the grains. But this process  is inefficient and ineffective in many cases. In some places, the farmers still follow  traditional methods of aerating grains by lifting the lid manually or removing it  completely depending on their storage capacity. This can be time-consuming as well  to ensure optimum moisture levels without increasing energy expenditure. EndZone Fan Controls The grain bin fan controls are a result of innovation in the field of agriculture.   EndZone fan controls help in managing the moisture levels within permissible  maximum limits without wasting a lot of energy and time. In fact, these controls are  more effe...

Selecting a Rented Farming Equipment and Machinery

Hiring the farming equipment and machinery is a famous option of using them for a short period of time especially during the harvesting season and when applying fertilizers, herbicides, weedicides,  and pesticides on the farmland. The producers can rent such agriculture equipment that is available  with the neighbor, local dealer, or any specialized business organization that provides customized  machinery for farming in their respective farmland for several operations ranging from planting,  harvesting, or storing. Rental Agreement for Farming Equipment and Machinery   A rental agreement is prepared to secure the machine for use in the farmland for a short period of time.   The charges for the rental are usually decided on the basis of usage per acre, hour, day, week, month,  or season.  Rental agreements are different from the custom hire in the following ways: An operator is not provided with the rented equipment under the rental agreement....

What are the Lessons that you should Learn for the Storage of Grains?

Image
  Storage of grains is a major issue for producers whether it is for the short term or the long term.    Although the producers take every necessary step and use the best Grain Storage Equipment the period of storing the grains may turn out to be a nightmare. Spoilage of grains can begin any time and even earlier than expected. In some cases, farmers fail to remove the corn out of the storage bin even in the month of January. This could be due to lack of market, low prices or simply some of the farmers need the help of experts. Grain bin entrapment reports are published by many universities and research centers every year. Where incidents involving death in the grain bin have been occurring at an alarming rate. There is a need to manage storage bin safety by the farmers just like they manage the grain temperature monitoring system. One common reason for such incidents could be the presence of spoiled and/ or the crusted grain inside the bin. However, if the seeds a...
