How to Prevent Grain Loss and Over-Drying with EndZone Fan Automation
Every season brings a new set of challenges for corn and soybean producers—especially when it comes to grain storage. As harvest wraps up, the focus shifts from yield to preservation. In this critical window, many producers risk profit loss due to over-drying or improper bin management. Tools like EndZone fan controls, along with innovations such as the Germinator closing wheel, which are up for sale, can significantly reduce this risk and maximize revenue from every bushel.

For many producers, it occurs quietly inside storage bins, where improperly timed fan use leads to excessive drying, shrinkage, or even spoilage. When grain dries below market moisture levels—especially soybeans dropping below 13%—it directly impacts weight, value, and sale price. Beyond moisture loss, fan systems that run continuously or inefficiently rack up unnecessary energy costs. But with today’s smart automation tools, t...
