AMES, Iowa – High-temperature grain dryers can dry grain at high speed to better accommodate Iowa’s increasing grain yields and farm sizes. However, both dryer design and management play a role in achieving maximum grain drying energy efficiency. A new publication from Iowa State University Extension addresses some of the factors farmers should consider when deciding to install new or update existing grain drying equipment.
“Managing High-Temperature Grain Dryers for Energy Efficiency” (PM 2089F) is available to download from the Extension Online Store, https://www.extension.iastate.edu/store/.
