FieldCast Weather

Bin Fan Forecast A new screen under Operations, for natural-air drying. It reads out every 2 hours for the next two weeks and marks each block one of four ways: Run, when the air will take the crop to or below target and is warm enough to move water; No change, when the air is dry enough but under 40 F, so little moves for the electricity; Adds water, when the air settles above target and the fan would put moisture back into grain that is already dry; and Too cold, under about 30 F. Pick the crop and the target follows it: 15.5% for corn, 13% for soybeans. The screen assumes the grain is already down to that target, and answers whether the air would hold it there rather than how to dry a wet bin. Morning dew None, light or heavy for each morning, and the hour it burns off, on the Hourly Forecast and in the day detail. Cloud cover A cloud percentage column on the Hourly Forecast, alongside the spray window figures. Favorite locations Star a place to keep it.
