Energy Efficient On-Farm Grain Drying Approaches
This Alberta wide on-farm grain drying study evaluated performances of different high temperature dryers, compared the energy efficiency, and estimated cost of wheat drying with the caron levy on fuel. We can provide a summary of the presentation later.
The Project is jointly funded by Alberta Grains, RDAR, Alberta Innovates, CAP, and Sask Wheat Development Commission.
