It is rare, but sometimes a truck can be rejected (more common a few years ago), then the farmer must dry his own grain out - thru a grain dryer or by aerating it manually. The price of grain & the variety varies by the market price of that day, but the farmer wouldn't have to take a loss.swheatfarmlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373458148444681801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754926943889760299.post-10128699845313961792011-08-16T23:49:45.647-07:002011-08-16T23:49:45.647-07:00Hi Gayle,
I just wanted to ask what happens when ...Hi Gayle,<br /><br />I just wanted to ask what happens when a truckload of grain is rejected by the elevator? Do you have a way of drying it out, or do you have to write it off? And how much is a truckload of grain worth at current prices?<br /><br />Over here in th UK, my husband comes from a farm family (he got out as soon as he could) and because of the weather, the moisture content of the grain is very often too high at harvest time. His family had a system rigged up with a big metal cage lined with burlap and a big fan. Not sure if this is typical over in these parts, or just my father-in-law's resourcefulness.Loree Westronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664030727905231847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754926943889760299.post-85752298517892712402011-08-16T15:45:18.264-07:002011-08-16T15:45:18.264-07:00Well thanks so much & glad you enjoy the blog....Well thanks so much & glad you enjoy the blog.
