Especially when you know your crib is a shelled com storage bin that uses the same drying principle approved by farmers for centuries to keep high quality ear com. This good feeling comes for three reasons. One, you feel good when you see your bright whole com kernels in the bin. No popped grains from excessive heat drying. No unpalatable, scorched kernels. No dust in your bin from the heat-drying process.' Two, you fed good when you feed natural-dry, chill cured com. Your livestock and poultry can gain more weight and produce more eggs with less shelled com. That’s because this scientifically designed grain storage system doesn’t bum away starches or protein in the drying process. You only evaporate away the moisture. You retain more volume and more feed value.' Three, you feel good when you look in your pocketbook. Because you no longer need to spend up to 25 percent of your com crop to have the grain elevator dry your com at harvest. Because you can store your grain on the farm until the low harvest time prices have risen. And because after your neighbors have tried some of your natural-dry com in their feeding program, you can expert a premium price for your top quality com.
