The Rural Voice, 2004-08, Page 44the U.S. and eastern Canada have
imported South American meal to
cover their needs. As well, a portion
of the U.S. crop got planted early and
will be harvested earlier than normal
thus shortening the current crop year.
Interestingly, the U.S. is still selling
old crop soys into the export market.
The world carryover for soybeans
in 2005 is projected to be well above
the current year's carryover based
mainly on a huge increase in South
American production this winter.
These statistics have added to the
bearishness in the new crop futures.
What a difference a month can
make! One month ago, corn prices in
Ontario were $.70 higher and
soybeans were about $1.50 higher
than today. After the spring that we
have endured in Ontario, it is hard to
imagine that conditions could be so
much better Tess than a half day's
drive away. People travelling through
the heart of the corn belt have told me
that the corn crop. is simply unreal.
Although the soybeans are not
looking as good as the corn in many
areas, the potential for a great crop is
evident as well.
After such a huge drop in prices, it
is easy to be pessimistic, but it is

TOP DRY
HOW DOES THE
G. S. I. SYSTEM WORK?
1) Grain is loaded into the upper chamber
of the bin, and dried as a batch
2) When the grain is dry, the burner
automatically shuts off
3) The operator lowers the dump chutes
with a winch, and the grain falls to the
lower part of the bin for cooling/storage
4) The dump chutes are cranked closed
and another batch is loading into the
drying chamber
WHY IS A TOP DRY A BETTER INVESTMENT
THAN A STIRRING MACHINE?
1) LOWER OPERATING COSTS
' Uses much Tess fuel because it recycles cooling air through
the drying zone
• No gear boxes, motors, or bearings inside the bin
• 100% galvanized construction inside and outside
2) FASTER DRYING
• 2 to 3 times faster per horsepower than a stirring machine
because of lower grain depth (30")
