What if the farm produce or the grains that
are stored get rotted and attract mold? What if the soy looks like baked beans?
What if the corn is high in moisture and tends to grow fungus? There are
similar horrible instances that may not only ruin the yield but all the fruits
of your labor will go wasted. More than that you will lose a huge share of
profit, only if the grains are not stored properly. Overlooking even the minute
details may bring unfortunate results such as loss of stored grains. Therefore,
farmers need to deal with each and every challenge that falls on their way from
the date of preparing soil till the date of selling the harvested yield.
It is only with the use of the latest
agricultural technology and agriculture equipment that the farmers can
safeguard and increase the yield. Agriculture equipment such as grain
temperature cables and standard closing wheels have provided better production
and storage facilities for the farmers. The standard closing wheels are effective for better and consistent germination and emergence. On
the other hand, the grain temperature cables are useful equipment for storing
the grains in a safe and secure environment by continuously monitoring and
tracking the temperature and moisture content of the grains in the bin.
Grain
Temperature Monitoring
To fight against the challenges and
issues that arise due to change in the weather conditions is a huge battle to
fight that is faced by all the farmers throughout the world. A loss in the farm
produce is a pain to the farmers for they not only lose the future profits but
also the time, labor, and efforts go wasted.
Monitoring and maintaining the
temperature of the grains that are stored in bins and piles becomes difficult
especially when the conditions of the weather are not favorable. Irrespective of the type of grain like corn,
soy, wheat, etc. the temperature is the key to retain the quality of the yield.
One of the most useful tools is the grain
temperature cables that are not only reliable but efficiently protect the
harvested grains. The grain temperature cables are able to continuously monitor
and track the conditions of the grain.
They gather the information and immediately let you know about the
storage conditions so that you can be assured if the temperature is stable or
not. Any errors or changes in the temperature can be easily brought to the
notice of the farmers and the same can be rectified immediately.
These are smart agriculture
equipment that can track the temperature of the grains at various
spots within the storage bin. The information gathered can be used for
effective actions that include aeration of the grain with the help of operating
fans in the bin. These grain temperature
cables are connected to the Grain Temp Guard Alarm DT/HT to maintain the
temperature between the two set parameters that consist of low and
high-temperature levels. In case the temperature of the grains at any spot goes
beyond the set parameters, the farmer will get the information through a
triggered alarm and corrective actions and measures can be taken immediately.
What are the benefits of using grain temperature cables?
As discussed above, the maintenance of
the right temperature of the grains is a menace that every farmer deals with
round the year with the harvested grain. The benefits of grain temperature cables are many and helpful in
retaining the huge profits to the farmers.
A change in the temperature may indicate
the presence of mold, attract insects as well as pest infestation. All these are the reasons that eat away a lot
of stored grains. As such the loss of even a single grain means the loss of hard
days’ labor of the farmers. The
temperature cables are equipped with sensors that can identify the temperature
and if there are any changes in the moisture content of the grain.
Early detection can lead to early
solutions that will eventually prevent the risk of huge losses. They can be placed on the top, bottom and
core of the stored grains. In fact, you can place them according to your
preference near the bin wall as well as the core. So that the temperature from
all sides can be tracked and the farmer can take the most suitable solution.
