WHEN NATURAL AIR DRYING OR WHEN USING SUPPLEMENTAL HEAT, WHEN SHOULD I SHUT MY FAN
OFF?
When bin samples show the grain is dry, turn off the fan.

WHEN NATURAL AIR DRYING, WHAT CAN I DO WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE DOES NOT REACH 50°F (10°
C)?
There are a couple of options available at this point:
1. You can dry the grain in a grain dryer and then cool it down with the bin fan to maximize the grain dryer
daily output.
2. You can wait until the outside air temperature falls to 23 to 14°F (-5 to -10°C) and then run the fan for 24–
48 hours to cool the entire grain mass to a storage state (see charts that follow). Once spring conditions
return, you can resume the natural air drying process.
