Do peas dry easily in an Opico dryer. With the lack of sun and intermittent drizzle, I'll have to get on and cut them at 18% before they go completely flat. Will they need two goes in the dryer like beans or come down easily under 15 in one go?
Dried some for a neighbour last year in the mobile dryer. I got them down from 17.5%. I kept the heat on just a little bit more than I would for wheat but I didn't get any problems. The neighbour didn't complain so they must have been alright.
They are very dusty but not difficult like beans are to dry.
Many thanks for the replies. looks like I'll give them a go tomorrow if the drizzle holds off.
Wheat down to 17.4% this evening so hopefully the peas have followed.
Best to do them twice, or leave them in the dryer overnight after the first go, i think its because the moisture in the center of the seed cannot get out quick enough.
