[QUOTE="sjt01, post: 7694576, member: 30726"] Stirrers are essential for deep grain. Our strategy is: 1. Fill store and stir for a day or so. This mixes the grain and removes any compaction from grain pushers, etc. so you get uniform air passage. 2. Estimate how long it will take to take out the moisture in the grain. Stop stirrers and dry for that time, or slightly less with stirrers off. 3. Give it a day or two stirring with air off, then measure moisture. If still too high, repeat 2 and 3 until done. If you omit the stirring in stage 3, you will end up with over dried grain on the bottom if you are using heated air, or in a low humidity ambient condition. For best effect, study a psychrometric chart and the equilibrium moisture table of your grain. [ATTACH type="full"]978571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]978572[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
