Economics of using aerated storage to minimise the impact of weather damage during wheat harvesting.

摘要: A wheat harvest system simulation Model (WHSSM) was developed and used to investigate the economics of using aerated storage minimise impact weather damage during harvesting. The economic returns from grain production with without were examined 15 years (1991–2005) data for Goondiwindi, Queensland, Australia. effect different drier capacities investigated. For continuous flow driers batch driers, optimum moisture contents in given farm setup 14 13%, respectively. No positive effects achieved if growers use either high or medium capacity driers. Aeration cooling however useful supporting low-capacity inadequate drying when is harvested at contents. results this study highlight importance optimising integration between agricultural machinery used, crop performance perceived risk.
