The Future of Grain Storage Management Is Here
OPI introduces OPI Blue
Now you can access critical grain storage

information to your smartphone or tablet.
With its super-simple connection to temperature and
moisture cables, OPI Blue is a great fit for both
new and retrofit applications. OPI Blue has the
ability to grow with you over time with the number
of bins monitored and the incorporation of automated
fan control. OPI Blue represents a simple and
scalable grain storage management.

What If You Had a Wider N Application Window?
Corn uses 75% of the nitrogen it
needs after V10 stage. The trick is getting corn the
N it needs when it's needed most. Traditional
side-dress methods limit your application window
— to only about 14 days after emergence. Miss it,
and your corn won't reach its full yield potential.
Now there's a way extend your window for
late-season N application. 360 Y-DROP gives you
more flexibility in application timing to apply N
between V6 and VT. So you can feed your crop when it
needs N most. And, with precision placement within
two to three inches of the stalk base, you can help
maximize plant uptake. Come harvest, that means more
efficient use of inputs, a better bottom line and
capturing more yield potential.

Attention Ag Leader ParaDyme or GeoSteer
owners that are also Glonass unlocked:
We wanted to let you know about an update
that occurred to the GPS system. On June
30th, 2015, a positive leap second was added
to the Universal Time Clock (UTC) for GNSS.
Adding this leap second will align the
Universal Time Clock with the Atomic Time
Clock, eliminating error caused by the
changing rotation of the Earth. This Leap
Second update has caused affected
Paradyme/Geosteer systems that are Glonass
unlocked, to not acquire differential GPS
properly. Ag Leader has released firmware
that fixes the problem. Your
Paradyme/Geosteer system WILL NOT function
until this firmware is installed. As with
all integrated steering firmware, this
firmware is only available to Ag Leader
dealers.

Planning New Grain Storage System:
Important Things to Consider |
|
|
used with permission from OPI-Integris by
Chandra B. Singh, Ph.D., P.Eng. and Ron Larson,
M.Sc.
Grain
is typically harvested at high moisture
content. Grain stored at high moisture in
combination with high temperature is at the
greatest risk of spoilage whereas cold and
dry grain can be safely stored for longer
period. Mold growth is prohibited if
relative humidity (RH) is below 70%
corresponding to 14-15% moisture content in
cereal grains and 9-10% in oil seeds.
Therefore grains should be dried to this
moisture range, aerated, and monitored
continuously for long term safe storage.
In-bin natural air drying/aeration system
utilizes the natural air for drying and
cooling of grain for safe long term storage.
It is important to understand some important
factors that greatly affect the success of
in-bin natural air drying/aeration.
Improperly designed drying/aeration systems
may consume excessive energy, delay the
drying/aeration, or fail in reaching the
desired objective leading to the grain
spoilage and quality and quantity losses.
Following factors should be considered when
planning to build a new grain storage
system.

Why Join an HTS Ag Grower Peer Group |

by Terry Johnston, HTS Ag
Being a business owner in any industry has
its challenges, but farmers can often feel
like they are on an island with no one to
share their thoughts with. Many growers
don't feel comfortable sharing their
challenges, opportunities or successes with
their neighbors because of their competitive
nature and independent mindset. Joining a
peer group is an effective way for farmers
to share in confidence and sharpen personal
and business skills.
HTS Ag is
forming Grower Peer Groups to provide a
forum for open sharing. These groups are
made of like-minded growers who meet
quarterly to network and discuss issues
specific to each member's concerns. These
members are serious about implementing a
model for success in their businesses
through collaboration and sharing best
practices. These groups provide
opportunities to share, learn and grow with
top-notch producers that are not
competitors.

Your Application Questions Answered |

by Andrew Pierce, Ag Leader
Now that planting season is winding down,
spraying season is starting to pick up. Here
are several tips for troubleshooting your
system as you begin spraying this summer.
What if my boom sections are turning
on/off too early or too late?
The
first step is to verify the application
offset is measured and entered into the
display accurately. The second step is to
adjust the look-ahead settings. The
look-ahead values are how far the system
looks ahead to turn sections on or off. The
values should only be changed by 0.1s at one
time.
