Agreed , that sub is even more toxic because they ' ll ban everyone who disagrees with them leading to an echo chamber <| sep |> Generally back then , my experience is dated 30 years ago , we would try to put the grain into the bin close to a moisture content that could be stored without drying . That said , sometimes the center of the bins would start heating up that much grain in one place , in which case we would attach a fan to the bin to run it overnight when it was cold to help dry and cool the grain down . This was only necessary right after harvest when the grain was first binned and maybe not quite dry enough for storage . I think this is kinda the opposite of silage making where you actually want it to heat up and ferment , but we never did silage , so I am not sure . We had electronic temperature gauges in the middle of the bin that we could use to monitor the grain temperature .
