There are a lot of things about agriculture that are uncertain, but one thing is constant: Moisture is everywhere.  And when dealing with moisture, farmers often find themselves in the same dilemma as Goldilocks: Most of the time there is either too much or too little, seldom just right.

That’s where the AgriDry Bullseye Controller becomes invaluable. No matter where you are or what your specific moisture problem is, the Bullseye Controller makes “just right” a whole lot easier to achieve.

High humidity is a way of life in the Delta area of Mississippi where Pepper Roberts grows cotton, corn and soybeans. In 2010, he added four 50,000-bushel corn bins so he could better control the timing of his sales and maximize his profits. The problem: How to keep ALL of the profits instead of losing some to dockage fees for high moisture in his corn. He decided to install the AgriDry Bullseye Controller on two of the bins, just to see if they were worth the investment. After the first two seasons, he’s planning on adding the controllers to the other two in the coming year. “I use the system start-up notification as a kind of alarm,” Pepper says. “If it’s 2:00 a.m. and the controllers fire up the fans, I get up and go turn on the fans in the other two bins, because I know they are running at the right time to get and keep my corn at the moisture it needs to be. I need to get the controllers on the other two so I can get some sleep!” Corn harvested last year at 18.0%-18.5% moisture, went to sale at 14.0%-14.5% with no dockage. “There is no doubt this has been a worthwhile investment for our farm,” was Pepper’s final evaluation.

Half a country away in Eastern North Dakota, Tom Roden has just come through his fifth harvest with his AgriDry Bullseye Controller. “I’ve only had to use it significantly in three out of those five seasons,” Tom says, “but it paid for itself the very first year I had it.” Unlike Mississippi, corn is just as likely to be too dry as too wet in North Dakota. Whichever condition, the AgriDry system knows how to achieve and maintain optimum moisture levels. “My biggest problem,” Gary relates, “was keeping moisture consistent throughout the bin. My dryers tended to overdry the bottom, but left the top too wet. With the Bullseye Controller, I set it and forget it; top and bottom, it’s all the way it should be.” Tom is also very pleased with AgriDry’s service after the sale, and highly satisfied with all his dealings with them. “In every category, on a scale of 1 to 10, AgriDry is a definite 9 across the board.”

For owner Eli Troyer and the rest of his crew, that means they still have a little work to do to get to that perfect 10!
