Reviews
“Found it very informative to monitor humidity levels, both as grain dried within the bin, as well as outside humidity changes. Provided great comfort to know drying progress & when to expect target moisture levels – predictability.”
Neil Burwash
“Rather than going by the seat of your pants, you get an idea what’s happening in your bin. Helps with planning."
Jorn Petersen
“This system takes away the “black box” feel of in-bin drying. It provides predictability and with that comes reduced stress!”
