Where is everyone #5

Hate to hear that!!!

 

Cleared up about 10 miles later.... should be with the hammer down till Caldwell. Y’all have a safe Friday night!

 

Loaded up one stop in SC Tuesday then Tampa Wednesday. I hate these slow loads but beats nothin I guess. Last truck of the week, we shut the joint down...

 

The sign says open 24-7, 365. Their remodeling so I assume their staying open.

 

Yep, and hay if to wet as well.

 

Yes it can and is capable of spontaneously combusting given the right conditions.

Farmers have to be checking their grain bins this year after most crops were harvested at a high moisture. I'm sure we're gonna hear more bins going bad and I hope everybody is careful.

We have cables in the bins that check moisture and temperature so we know if the grain is acting out of range. In the winter I like to run the fans to cool the grain which helps you store it longer and least chance for it to get moldy and hot.

We have a app on our phone where we can go online and check temperatures, relative humidity and moistures. Here is a pic of what I can look at. The values in the cables shown are the temps in this 62,000 bushel bin.


@old iron or @cke can probably relate but on calm, frosty mornings if you smell something musty and a roof top of a grain bin is dry and the rest are frost covers, you better be getting into action quick. We've had this happen on a couple smaller bins in the past but since we can monitor temps we haven't had any issues since.

Sunflowers, flax, and canola are another crop that will get hot in a bin real fast. I heard of story's where flames are coming out of a bin top filled with flax.

If ranchers bale hay too wet they can also spontaneous combust.

 

Great Pyrenees maybe

 

@stwik

Come get the before they have butter on them. However they are full of butter and fried in butter.
