Central Minnesota
The funny part about that is, all you need is a 150 dollar valve put on your pit auger and a little bit of piping, and your pit auger needs to come up between both legs. Switch from wet leg for corn, and dry leg for dry corn or beans. But millwrights don't add it in, or sometimes the farmer doesn't mention that he wants that capability. Ours is set up so we can divert grain to either leg. And if we want, if you want to keep combining, you can close the overflow valve going to the dryer, and dump directly into our hopper bin (wet bin) and there's an auger out the other side so you can load out of that. This way if you know you have to haul a couple of loads to the elevator, and your trucks are full, you can always combine well into the night on beans, and unload them from that bin the following day to haul to local elevators. It works great to fill all of your bins with beans that you want to store, and then just keep combining and dumping into there, and haul out during the day when the elevator is open. Everyone knows elevators never stay open late enough in the fall. So better utilize what you have, but make it easy. And since it's a hopper bin, its easy clean out before going to corn.
