| How much money can I save by switching a grain dryer from propane to natural gas ? I dry 10 to 12,000 bushel of corn per year currently cost me 30 cent bushel to dry wet as in 25-27 percent corn. One guy was telling me he can dry corn on natural gas for 10 cents a bushel. It will cost me 25,000 to hook up to natural gas over 10 years that 3,200 dollars per year divide 12,000 bu equals 26 cents per bushel for hook up cost. Plus what ever the natural gas will cost. The 25,000 dollars is for a small 100 bushel batch dryer. If I hook up a bigger dryer the hook up cost is even more. Hookup cost are based on BTU of the dryer. Seems like hooking up to natural gas is a loseing proposition. The hookup cost are to high. If I only hookup house and workshop cost is supposed to 500 dollars. Tempted to run my own line from workshop to dryer after they leave. This is from southern manitoba Any ideas ? Thanks | |
