Weight reduction (%) = 1 - (100% - 15%) / (100% - 14%) = 1.16% Having a solid understanding of drying principles helps reduce over-drying of your grains. That means lower energy consumption and more tons of grain to sell. The same goes for the principles of silo aeration. Mastering ventilation allows you to equalize the moisture content of your grains after drying and to maximize the allowable moisture content. In doing so, you maximize the weight of your harvest—and your income.
