A difference between farming in the Midwest where you are and here in the NE. Most elevators here will dry beans up to 20 percent in a tough fall year. Normally, even in the drying system they don't want them much above 16.5-17.0 percent. Also, where I am we are modulated by Lake Ontario and Lake Erie to a greater degree so the days of natural drying in the field become few by November. Further, that translates into greater difficulty in hoping that air alone will dry beans in an air bin. I would never do nothing past a bottom dry of a few feet with no burner this late and even in September it is a gamble if in a wet spell. If I were the OP I would get the 8 percent beans out as it does nothing for efficiency. As far as blending a guy better do one heck of a job such as running two streams of beans almost into one stream when it hits the bottom of the truck, wagon or bin. Most elevators here probe HARD so if they hit a pocket of those 18 percent beans you can figure on hauling your load back home.
