Wagon Drying of Crops
Best In Enclosed Shed
Wagon drying of crops holds great promise for the
future, research engineers at the Pennsylvania State Uni
versity report
William L Kjelgaard and
Morris E Schroeder point to
the flexibility of wagon dry
ing in especially enclosed
buildings. Crops can be bal
ed, bagged, or m bulk.
The system can be easily
adjusted to various sizes
and types of farming. Addi
tional wagons can be added
to expand the system, pro
vided the initial planning
left building space for ex
pansion.
On the basis of research at
Penn State’s Agricultural
Experiment Station, Kjel
gaard and Schroeder recom
mend the wagons be located
m a closed shed to permit
recirculation of air.
This will improve the dry
ing efficiency and lower the
fuel cost per ton of hay or
bushel of corn.
■Air recirculation is most
valuable during the latter
part of the drying cycle
when* the air leaving the pro
duct is not fully saturated
with -water vapor.
The building also serves as
a storage place for equip
ment .and other farm mach
inery- or products during the
winter season.
Of utmost importance to
the performance and effici
ency, of the system are;
1. Amount of floor open
ing.
2. Air flow (40 cubic foot
per minute for each square
foot of wagon floor).
3. Low bale density for
