Butler Grain Silo

The bin has a complete perforated floor, can I get by with just a fan?

Will give you a call this weekend, thanks,

At least we know the bin has a perferated floor. :)

Now, what crop, what location, are you just airating the grain, or are you trying to dry it down, and if so how much????

Even Rick will need a lot more details to help you. And please be aware, what works in warm arid Nebraska does NOT work in damp cool Wisconsin!!! Two totally different climates, totally different systems needed! You need to fill us in before we can help you.

Will be using the bin to store and dry corn after harvest, somewhere around 20% down to around 12%, thereafter, I would aerate as necessary to prevent mold, I live in southern PA. The entire floor is perforated and elevated above a cement slab.

Another option here is to pick up a Tox-o-Wix type pto drier and use this to dry down the corn, then use a smaller fan on the bin to airate as needed. If you need extensive rewiring to operate the big fan, expensive stirator to buy/maintain, and have a relatively small amout of corn, this can be more cost effective. But, it uses higher heat, and more babysitting that the big bin burner.

Depends what works in your area, & what you have available at what prices. :)
