Great vid,re test weight. As others commented, no popcorn. Good job !

Thank you for a great explanation of your drying system.

Was looking forward to the start up of the dryer. Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to show the process and start up. Didn't really know about any systems besides batch and continuous flow dryers. We have too many other things to do to worry about corn yet. So I'll have to watch you enjoying it for now, but it is my favorite thing to combine!

That is one really nice dryer. thanks for sharing. Stay Safe and Warm

Thank you so much. I love learning about your farm life. Love Chicago grandma

you do a good job at explaining things , my favorite channel on youtube, including sandi's channel

Must be doing alright with the start up I didn't see any popcorn in that bin

Like your video s , making use of tech to produce food for the world , best wishes from South Africa

Remarkable job explaining how things work , continue on , amazing set up proud of our farmers daily , stay strong , stay safe ! Bob Marino Pueblo, Colorado

Great video Mark thanks for explaining

Did i see an older looking dryer in one of those clips? 16:50 Great job explaining all that to use peons. Keep up the great work!

Farming might have gotten easier on the physical side but you just demonstrated the mental side has greatly increased. It's good that you posted this video i don't think many people really know how challenging a job farming can be and what it takes to put food on the table. Be careful familiarity breeds contempt something i always remind myself you do the job all the time and you forget the dangers. Climbing that leg when it's wet can get interesting I'm guessing the boss is gone and the kids are to if you slip how long till someone checks on you. Working in a factory there's a buddy system farmers often do dangerous jobs on there own. Not far from me a guy did fall from a leg at night fortunately a hired man stopped to check and even though it was dark he was found but it took a long time to heal. Be safe and take care

Very interesting and educational presentation of your dryer. I missed the number of bushels in a dump.

Awesome setup. I always hated the roar of the dryer fan running when I had to walk by it lol.

Mark. I am not sure but check the PLC controler maybe be able to add some fuzzy logic into the corn level switch senceing input to stop what I think is called short rapid switch cycleing. Just some thoughts. Thank You for tje walk along videos. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Farm Equipment.

We dry our corn with an old 30 foot storemor top dry we are going to up grade to a super B now you got me thinking auto flow🤷🏻‍♂️

I was wondering why you were using a generator to power the dryer. I see the response below about needing 3 phase power and the cost to get it to your farm.

Nice setup! An elevator near me used a generator that had an engine that ran on natural gas. It used the heat from the generator engine to preheat the air going into the dryer. Not sure if it just used the heat off the radiator or the exhaust went in too. Your system is diesel and I imagine diesel smelling corn would not be good. Not sure if it is still in use as that was years ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Didn't realize a PHD in grain storage was a skill set requirement. Hope you overnighted that switching mechanism for the leg top!

GREAT VIDEO - Thanks. Some people think all farmers do is sit on tractors all day . 😀😀😀 On your dryer , how many bushels are processed each CYCLE ?

I used to work at the bean processing plant here in Paris, you probably know of it since you do edible beans. Climbing the 130 foot silo to the leg was a hell of a chore, but once your up there the view was amazing lol. Could see the stacks at the hydro plant in nanticoke (which aren’t there anymore 🙄) great video, always growing pains.

How many bushels of corn does it dry at a time? Ok I watched the video on your new drying bin and you mentioned 500-750 bushels per hour can be dried.

I wondered about the ducts going up to the top of the bin, are they insulated? Thanks for posting, i find the structure and process very interesting.

Silly question. Why don’t you sink to bottom of corn silo when walking on it, like quicksand?

I'm kind of curious as to why you use a generator to run your grain dryer?

i would ask one of your friends that fixes motors check your stater and brushes dont burn up your windings on the motor

How big is your new dryer and how much can you dry in an hour and one other question are you still using the super b dryer or no

Mark , how many bushels of corn can you dry per hour with your new setup ?

what is the cost to bring the moisture down to 14% ? interesting video

Hi Mark how long does it take to dry all that corn or just leave it on they plant longer until it's more dryer👍👍👍

Why do you use a generator instead of utility co electricity?

Are you going to be able to empty the bin while the dryer is still operating

City girl here, what is this corn used for?

What is the white layer on top of the dried corn?

What kind of generator did you buy for the grain bins? How big is your generator?

Are you completly off grid or is the gen only for bin operation?

Sorry, must have missed video on drying system setup. Why are you having to generate electricity for the system?

Maybe you should have your kids help more around the farm

Mark, I noticed that you have another dryer. What type is it? What is the advantage of the new dryer versus the older one?

can you let the dryer run around the clock if need be

Farm or field??

How many acres on your farm?
