We propcorn our barley normally but I fancy saving a few ton of seed this year, is there a simple and cheap way to dry a few ton? Say 5 ton. No dryers based locally at all. Would a Martin Lishman spear and fan do enough? Hopefully we will cut it pretty dry but it could easily be in the low...

Is there any (cheap) way to set up a weigh bridge on farm? Won't be used a huge amount but would be really handy at times. Axle weigh pads look fine but aren't cheap.
