One concept I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around is the supposed gain on the dry (11%) beans. These weren't mixed in a bin with air on them. I mixed on a trailer then ran through an auger, then a grain cart, then back on the truck. So there probably wasn't any actual moister migrating from one bean to the other. In my head it was just wet beans and dry bean in the tester at the elevator. So given all that, can someone explain to me how I increased the bushels on the 11% beans. I just can't wrap my head around that. They are what they are. I do see however, decreasing the amount of shrink and discounts on the wet bushels. That's pretty cut and dried, I had 16.5% and I made them 14.5% and saved that discount between.



No moisture migrated anywhere. Some of the beans in the sample were still 16, some were 11, as long as more are 11, the average goes down.

Look at it this way, if you put one handful of 11% beans and one hand full of 16% beans in a cup, the average of the two is 13.5%

Now put 2 handfuls of 11% and only 1 handful of 16%, the average moves down to 12.66%.
