The show’s main attractions Solar drying (Continued from Page A 22) constructed at less expense and perform with comparable levels of efficiency as design techniques improve. Wilmot is the first to admit that the major roadblock to Generation One is labor, with all that stacking in and hauling out of hay bales. So, he’s already mulling over ideas for “Generation Two,” and then even “Generation Three,” more mechanized versions of his basic solar crop drying design. Generation Two would theoretically be serai-mechanized, the bales loaded non-manually into the chamber, perhaps on a wagon as some drying systems, already available, operate. A projected third design could carry the solar dryer into total mechanization, moving bales in and out of the chambers without ever touching them. f i j GRAIN STORAGE CONTA RAYMOND S.
