[QUOTE="Bignor Farmer, post: 6509392, member: 4405"] This is what I’ve been thinking about. I guess a commercial store is something like £2.30/t/% so £23/t with 1.25% weight loss per 1% dried. Fag packet calculation but if I treat it as feed wheat and turn the flame up on the drier I’ll burn about 1,500l of fuel a 17hour day and achieve perhaps 7t/hr though our 20t/hr continuous flow drier so that’s £825 fuel for 119t of grain £6.93/t plus 10% weight loss. A bit of electricity on top, no significant wear and tear, depreciation there if I dry it or not. [/QUOTE]
