How do you even get beans at 30% moisture to thresh?
More importantly.. how do you get them to FLOW out of the TRUCK?!?
I worked at a mom and pop country elevator for awhile.. still remember the producer who cut wet Sorghum on a Saturday.. brought it in on a Monday.. raised the bed... opened the gate.. nothing.
Looked like one of those Giant Fruitcake loafs in a tandem truck.. "This AIN'T Christmas.."
We shouldn't have but i believe we picked it out with a scoop.. somehow got it to flow into the dryer.. and chewed on it for a couple of hours.. "hmmm."
The things an elevator guy does for a "customer."
I don't believe that was a profitable load... but we took it.
Probably LOTS of similar stories from down south right now.. |
