Abstract: A modeling framework for evaluating the impact of weather conditions on farming and harvest operations applies real-time, field-level weather data and forecasts of meteorological and climatological conditions together with user-provided and/or observed feedback of a present state of a harvest-related condition to agronomic models and to generate a plurality of harvest advisory outputs for precision agriculture. A harvest advisory model simulates and predicts the impacts of this weather information and user-provided and/or observed feedback in one or more physical, empirical, or artificial intelligence models of precision agriculture to analyze crops, plants, soils, and resulting agricultural commodities, and provides harvest advisory outputs to a diagnostic support tool for users to enhance farming and harvest decision-making, whether by providing pre-, post-, or in situ-harvest operations and crop analyzes.

Abstract: A grain storage bin includes a cylindrical wall formed by a plurality of panels arranged in rows with a bottom edge of a first row bolted to a top edge of a second lower row. At each joint the bottom edge of the first upper row is overlapped with and outside of the outer surface of top edge of the second lower row and the bottom edge is fastened to the top edge by bolts carrying spacers as to define a first channel along the joint for passage of air. A central air injection duct is formed of a series of generally frustoconical duct pieces arranged in a row suspended on a cable from the roof with a tube portion into which the air is injected fixed on legs at a hopper bottom standing upwardly therefrom. The cable is connected by a spring at the bottom to maintain tension

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a method of drying a body of grain, comprising storing the body of grain in an elongate bag silo 10, providing at least a first outlet 22 intermediate a first end 16 and a second end 18 of the bag and at least a first and a second inlet (26, 28), situated intermediate the outlet 22 and the first end 16 of the bag. The second inlet 28 is spaced longitudinally further away from the first outlet 22 than the first inlet 26 and the first outlet 22 is the closest outlet to the second inlet 28 in a direction towards the second end 18 of the bag 10. The method further comprises providing a flow of air, between the inlets and the outlet such that a pressure differential between any of the inlets is maintained within a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A ventilation system for ventilating particulate materials disposed in a storage bin is provided. The ventilation system comprises an extendable elongated hollow body for being disposed in proximity of a center of the storage bin and oriented substantially vertical. The body comprises a plurality of body sections and when extended has a length approximately equal to a distance between a bottom portion of the storage bin and a top portion of the storage bin. The body has a plurality of apertures such that airflow between inside and outside the body is enabled while transmission of the particulate materials into the body is substantially prevented. A holding mechanism is mounted to the body and to at least one of the top portion and the bottom portion of the storage bin.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating bagged materials. A bagging machine is equipped with feed tubes that feed a conduit through a bag filling tunnel of the machine and through the open end of the bag and into the bag. The conduit is perforated and when the bag is filled, the length of the conduits is extended out through the bag end to be connected to a treatment media, e.g., forced air. An opening is provided at the rear end to provide an exhaust opening for air that is forced into the conduit, out the perforations and through the bagged material. The air will dry the material to lower the moisture content or provide oxygen as may be desired to enhance decomposition. Water may also be introduced as desired.

Abstract: This invention is an improved breather bag apparatus used with a sealed storage bin such as a silo allowing for expansion and contraction of the air within the sealed structure due to changes in the air temperature in the sealed storage bin. As a material with a high moisture content is normally being stored, the connector pipe between the improved breather bag structure is inclined back into the storage bin for any condensed fluid to flow back into the storage bin to keep the stored material moist. This improved breather bag apparatus is mountable on the sidewall of an existing silo within a protector shell member and having a bag member that is readily observable from adjacent the silo to ascertain whether such is operating properly and having a drain valve to release fluid from the bag member. The protector shell member is provided with a bottom wall with an access door to allow one entrance to the drain valve for operation thereof. Also, a special bag support assembly is mounted in the protector shell member and operates to hold the bag member in the proper shape.

Abstract: A grain handling system having an air system is presented that is capable of automatically detecting and clearing a plug in a tube of an air system using a central controller, an air pressure sensor, a dynamic pressure relief valve and a variable frequency drive connected to and controlling a blower motor. When a plug is detected, the central controller stops the flow of grain into the tube and ramps up the output of the blower motor to full capacity. Thereafter, the central controller performs an unplugging routine by opening and closing the dynamic pressure relief valve causing surges of air to impact the plug either breaking up the plug or bumping the plug along the tube until it clears. Once the plug clears, the central controller resumes normal operation.
