Grain is often harvested before it has fully dried in the field due to weather conditions and farming logistics. Drying the grain prior to long term storage is essential for ensuring the highest quality and preventing spoilage. Controllers work in tandem with grain drying equipment to maintain the appropriate temperature throughout the drying process. These advanced systems rely on sensors for automated drying that produces the ideal moisture content.
