Can’t beat natural
drying for HM corn
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Adding
solar heat or any other form of low
temperature supplemental heat to
dry high-moisture shelled corn is
not economically feasible, ac
cording to the USDA Economics
and Statistics Service, when
compared with natural airflow
drying.
Solar-supplemented per-bushel
costs far exceeded returns in the
west central Great Plains, the
corn-growing region with the
highest average annual solar
radiation.
The simulated analysis in the
USDA report used 20 years of
weather and solar radiation data
for Dodge City, Kansas, an 8,000-
bushel drying and storage system,
and batcb-m-bm and layer-m-bin
drying methods. Price and cost
data for the 1979/80 marketing
year served as the economic base.
• Supplemental solar heat had no
effect on the batch-m-bm (single
fill) strategy in good drying years,
and tailed to stem detenoration m
poor drying years. High-moisture
corn cannot be consistently
preserved without using high-

temperature dryers.
Should fossil fuel for operating
high-temperature grain dryers no
longer be available, farmers in
sisting on fast harvest may choose
to let their com deteriorate a grade
in poor drying years rather than
invest in an uneconomical low
temperature dryer, USDA points
out.
Layer-m-bin drying, although a
method that could slow harvest,
required no supplemental heat,
even in years of high humidity
after harvest. The addition of solar
heat resulted in appreciable com
overdrying.
Results of a simulation model
show fanners can dry high
moisture corn more economically
through natural airflow than by
any form ot supplemental heat,
including solar energy. Farmers
may allow more than 50 percent of
their com to deteriorate to grades
No. 3 or 4 (low-quality com), in
poor drying years, and still lose
less money than by installing a
solar collector or some other
supplemental heat source, USDA
concludes.
