Closing wheel and gauge wheel setup should be checked as one sequence, not as two unrelated adjustments. Gauge wheels help control opener depth and soil flow beside the trench; closing wheels then press soil back around the seed. If the first part of the row unit is...
Oct 16, 2026 | Planter Closing Wheels
A planter can carry the right seed depth and population settings and still leave an uneven stand. The closing wheels have to sit on the seed furrow, not off to one side of it. A planter closing wheel alignment check finds a shifted tailpiece, a worn pivot, or a wheel...

Grain bin humidity monitoring gives you another useful view of stored grain conditions, but it works best alongside temperature readings and regular inspection. Humidity can help flag a change in the air around stored grain; it is not, by itself, a verdict on grain...

A grain bin moisture control system is more than a sensor or a fan. It is the combination of measurements, operating decisions, and equipment that helps you manage grain condition in storage. For a mid-size farm, the right setup should answer practical questions: Is...

Grain moisture reconditioning can sound like a simple way to recover value from grain that dried below its preferred sale moisture. But adding or redistributing moisture is not automatically profitable, and it is not the same as running an aeration fan. The right...

Grain drying vs aeration is not a choice between two names for the same fan job. Drying removes moisture so grain can reach a storage-appropriate level; aeration moves air through grain mainly to manage temperature and help maintain stored quality. A fan may...

A grain bin fan controller installation is not just a matter of mounting a box beside a fan. The system has to match the fan and power supply, use the right operating inputs, and be installed in a way that is safe to inspect and maintain. A little planning before...

Grain bin fan ambient conditions affect whether aeration cools grain, moves a temperature front, or adds moisture instead of helping. The right decision depends on more than the outdoor temperature. Compare the air with the grain, consider the grain’s moisture and...

Knowing when to run a grain bin fan after harvest is a matter of matching the air outside the bin to the grain inside it. Start with the crop’s temperature and moisture, your storage goal, and the weather, not the calendar alone. For many farms, the first useful...

The right question is not simply, “What does an automated fan controller cost?” It is what your complete setup needs to control, monitor, install, and operate. A budget built around bin size, fan capacity, electrical work, grain depth, and crop can tell...

Grain bin fan control for soybeans is a timing decision, not simply a matter of switching the fan on when the air feels cool. The right choice depends on grain condition, the temperature and moisture of outside air, the goal for the storage period, and what you can...

Choosing grain bin fan control for corn is not just a question of buying a timer or an automatic switch. The right setup helps you make repeatable decisions about when to run a fan, while keeping the crop, bin, weather, and your own monitoring routine in view. For...
