    So I would be very nervous storing corn that way. It needs to be well under 15% moisture, even maybe 13%. That way it would store with very little hassle. Since you tend to have a warm climate. So storage time frame may not be very long. I can generally store 200,000 bushel of corn for about 6 months and that's dried to 16% and we freeze it January and February and usually by August it needs to be gone. Cuz if the corn heats up it will go from bad to worse and a few days. I would suggest you find some kind of ventilation just to be on the safe side

    • @Pennies_on_the_dollar
      @Pennies_on_the_dollar  2 місяці тому

      I do appreciate the great insight, AJ. My plan is to unfortunately wait until we are near 12-13 in the field, shell it slowly, give it time to have some air at least outise air , then put it into the containers. I am figuring that it should be around 1-1.5 weeks and turn around time from shelling until it hits the deer feeders. I do have a plan for longer shelf life while in storesge if it comes to that. But I think the key or curse will be the wait for it to dry down enough before shelling. That in itself creates issues with loss and shatter during harvest, but time will tell! Thank you again for all the great insight and advice, I really appreciate that!! Hope things are going well for ya!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🌽🌽🇺🇲🇺🇲

    Hey Nelson! There was a guy near here that my uncle would custom harvest for that had a gravity box mounted on an old Ford 1 ton, probably similar vintage as the truck you're using. I don't remember seeing it leave his farm but I do know that he used it. You may need to put some sort of an exhaust fan in the trailer and cut a small hole for an air intake if the grain isn't absolutely dry so it doesn't stay too wet inside the trailer. Just a thought. Since you don't have a dryer, make sure the corn is as dry as possible before you shell it. Storing wet grain doesn't go well especially if it's hot. My wheat this summer was too wet and it ended up molding on me and I had to get rid of most of it, not fun. I think you have a good plan, keep taking one step at a time and you'll get there! Hope you have a good weekend, Nelson!

    • @Pennies_on_the_dollar
      @Pennies_on_the_dollar  2 місяці тому +1

      I can't believe I hadn't thought of it sooner, the ole truck runs great and will be so much easier to get around with in tight quarters!! It may be unconventional, but I think it might just work!! Heck yeah sounds like he had thr same ideas!!
      I do have plans to put a big 2' ft exhaust fan in tjr nose of the trailer on a timer. I'm thinking a few vents in the doors, and the "unsealed" doors themselves I mugh can keep the air from getting to stale. That's exactly what worries me with harvest, like your wheat. But I think I'm gonna let it dry as much as possible in the field 12-13 percent, then she'll slowly meaning a little at a time. Hopefully that will aid in the storage aspect. But if they all come through it won't be at the farm very long and be in feeders by a weeks end 😉😉😁😁🙏🏻 Thank you very much sir for thr great insight and advice!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! I hope you have a great week as well my friend !! 😁😁🇺🇲🇺🇲👌🏻👌🏻🌽🌽

      YT is at its finest again in all aspects, no worries at all Russ!! My "fake hey fellow " shoes aren't quite water tight. The extra dew in the mornings gets them soaked right away!! 🤣🤣🤣 Unfortunately the steel toes are a daily must so they aren't anything new for me. That's exactly where these came from, an ole barn!! I have to be honest, it really isn't that bad in there, once I get the exhaust installed I think it will be pretty cool actually. Now that being said, I hope to not be in there long until it cools off and my corn is dry enough. Thank you Russ, for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🌽🌽🌽

    • @Pennies_on_the_dollar
      @Pennies_on_the_dollar  2 місяці тому

      Well I am hoping to let it really dry down in the field may 12-13 percent before shelling starts. Then I will most likely have to shell very little at one time to give it time naturally( much as it will) cool down some before storing it. I'm hoping to get an exhaust fan installed on the trailer to help move a little air at least on the surface. But fingers crossed that most of it leaves within a few days as I shell it. I'm still trying to figure a really good way to help with that exact situation as the years unfold. But with no more than I do I guess the safest bet for now is to keep the moisture very low before ever shelling. I'm sure that none of that will go as planned, but time will tell 🤣🤣🤦🏼🤦🏼 Thank you Mr Jeff for always being, I really appreciate that!! The insight is very helpful , and much appreciated 😁😁👌🏻🌽🌽🇺🇲🇺🇲

      Andy that is my (in my mind) my safety net do to speak. Hoping to really let it dry down in the field 12-13 maybe then shell it slowly, so I can move it too the customers quickly. My plans are like Swiss cheese, lots of holes but I have to see what is going to work the best with my circumstances. Letting it dry down alot is nice, but could be a curse with weather loss during harvest though. Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate!! The insight and advice is very much appreciated as well 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🌽🌽🇺🇲🇺🇲
