SESD | Normally try to haul beans to elevator from the field. Put some in a 15k bin this year to help keep things moving when elevator was still shutting down early. Probably had 13k in it. Had a week of gloomy/rainy weather, so ran the fan nonstop for 4 days. Beans were under 10%, some under 9%. Just took them out Thursday and Friday. First 2/3 came out at 9% to 10%. The rest, which was the sweep plus a little more were 11+ to 12.5%.
Biggest thing was the pods were sticking to the wall already and starting to mold. Everything tested good, but I wouldn't leave them any longer than needed to hydrate them or you could have a disaster. I didn't have the grain spreader on when filling the bin, so maybe if the pods were spread out good it would be better. I also didn't level the bin, just left it peaked, so more of the air would have been going up towards the walls.
