NW Iowa | this is getting a bit off topic, but I've always had a strange fascination with the principle of blending grain, and how something that looks impossible can be very possible if you have the right tools and use them correctly.
At that elevator I shoveled payloader bucket after bucket after bucket of black corn into the silos and while closing traincar lids I would see a bad kernel, literally, every now and then. They told me all the garbage was being used up....who knows, I was a part-time schmuck they may not have told me everything I asked...
Also remember when yield and moisture monitors first came out for combines and the seemingly impossible fields of wheat that could be cut and properly blended to go over the scale as dry grain. Moisture monitor + grain cart + experience = happy farmer and ignorant elevator manager. Plus, if its blended properly it will store well (as long as its only moisture and not other quality problems) | |
