be cooled in 15-20 hours. With this short cooling time, a fanner can watch the weather forecast mid pick days with low relative humidity to run the fans,” said Mr. Wilcke.

The above-mentioned cooling times are only estimates, the Tech specialist stressed. Producers should actually measure the temperature of the grain of the air exhausting from the grain to determine when cooling is complete. Permanently installed temperature cables make this job much easier and more accurate.

“The target temperature for grain cooling is 40-45 degrees Fahrenheit,” said Mr. Wilcke. “If aerating grain now doesn’t bring it down to this temperature, it will need to be aerated again when the weather gets colder.” Once grain is cooled to 40-45 degrees, further aeration is not necessary unless spoilage is detected.
