Grain storage revamp adds a shine to harvest

摘要

Last summer's harvest was every bit as challenging for farm manager Clive Juleff and his team as for growers pretty much everywhere, but at least handling and drying of incoming grain was easier than in previous years. The benefits are being felt thisharvest time, as Mr Juleff, manager at W Plowden Farms, no longer has two dryers with separate intakes to manage and 18 small bins to fill, just a gleaming trio of drying silos served by one easily accessible pit. "It means I no longer have to spend most of my time managing the drying process - and most of the night getting grain cleared ready for combining the next morning,'' he says.
