Use heated air for drying grain Grain is rapidly dried to below 18% moisture content (15% for long-term storage) Reduced Ochratoxin A production on cereal grains during storage Reduced incidence of fusarium mycotoxins in food Food safety - pathogens
Reduce energy used for drying grain Reduce direct energy use Reduction in fossil fuel use Decrease consumption of non-renewable energy sources
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions from combustion Reduce GHG emissions - carbon dioxide
Efficient use of resources - energy
Decrease farm costs Economic viability
