SESD
Id say at 14%, if it shrinks at 1.2% actual, they are taking 1.8% for drying. If it is 11%, and you are losing 1.2%/pt, that is 2.4%. So you are losing an extra .6% at the dryer moisture. It doesn't bother me a bit to take in 16% if they will take it and I can get it at that moisture. By the time you figure extra shatter or whatever, you are far ahead with wetter beans. My dad never wanted to roll if they were above 13%. Then before you knew it, they were 8%-11%. Losing big time IMO with dry beans.

My place is at .2% of price per tenth of moisture. Gets complicated doing all the figuring with that. So at $12.50 beans, that's 12.5c/point of moisture, whether 13.5 or 17. So, compared to your 14% place, mine is 1% dock, yours is 1.8%, that's over the shrink.

I do not see anything on my place's website that says anything about shrink on beans. They do on their corn discount schedule. SOOO, I'm not sure what to say about that.
