You want good airflow going in and uninhibited outward flow of moist air from the drying process. You might dry a couple wagon loads using twist in aerators in a heated shop but using a barn to dry a few thousand bushels at a time could be very problematic. Further, a bin really should not be blocked in tight by other buildings. Maybe a building on the prevalent windward side during winter to keep snow from blowing in. I will reiterate that handling grain in the East is a little different game than the Midwest. Very seldom does grain or soybeans get dry enough to store while sitting in the field during the fall. If the ground is dry and the crop is thrash able it is advisable to start soybean or corn harvest and use artificial means to bring the crop down in moisture to a safe level for storage. Waiting for the crop to hit storable moisture in the field might mean having to deal with poor weather which on soybeans will kick the moisture back up in a hurry. Maybe you friend could find a used bin/fan/burner to put up and save on the cost somewhat. Further, you can't dump on the ground nor have a dirt floor so an elevated concrete floor need to be put in place as well. Even with some breaks your friend will have over 10,000 dollars invested if he can find a used system that will handle 5,000 bushels. Best to call a dealer to know what new is.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
