Abstract | This paper develops a Wheat Harvest System Simulation Model (WHSSM) to investigate the economics of using aerated storage to minimise the impact of weather damage during wheat harvesting. The returns of grain production with and without aerated storage are examined using 15 years (1991-2005) of weather data for Goondiwindi, Queensland, Australia. The effect of different drier capacities is investigated. It is found that for the cases of continuous flow drier and batch drier, the optimum harvest moisture contents in the given farm setup are 14 and 13%, |
