stiring would be of benefit if you are storing long termExcellent advice thankyou . What are your thoughts on grain butler type stirrers and drying speed? Some studies suggest it slows drying by interrupting fronts, but does avoid the costly over dying you refer to
but if you are loading out next week just mixing grain up has the same effect
the key to drying is to have an accurate moisture meter dry get a sample of your grain tested at a descent lab then use that to check your meter daily
the practical solution to over drying is to set your dry ging with heat then measure the bottom grain once the drying front is pat way up adjust the heat up or down to get the grain dry enough at the bottom
for loading out next week over drying 2/3 and not drying 1/3 may be cheaper as you will only have to blow long enough to move the drying front up 2/3 of the heap
I would try to dry the front of the heap more than the back as the first load will have more top corn unless as suggested above you load up your trailers and blend it in at the back
