Soon after installing Bin-Sense Live, one Saskatchewan family was alerted during their Florida vacation that temperatures were increasing in their grain bins. With the help of friends at home, they were able to save 5,000 bu of canola from spoilage.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h3>
You can anticipate spoilage, but you can never be sure when and where it\u2019s going to pop up. Or where you\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what Blake Bergen of 3B Acres in Drake, SK discovered in fall 2019 when his Florida vacation was interrupted by news that a canola bin was heating up. \u201cThat bin was not top-of-mind among riskier bins. We thought we had that one well looked after so it surprised us when we got the alert,\u201d he said.<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

The solution<\/h3>
There were many factors that led Bergen and his father to install Bin-Sense\u00ae Live the previous year. A dry spring led to late crops in July. They also had questions about the storability of straight-cut canola. \u201cWe knew we were going to get some stagey canola coming in,\u201d said Bergen. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t going to necessarily be swathed at exactly the right time. There was potential for green seeds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bergens took a proactive approach through grain drying and monitoring. \u201cWe thought the odds of having something happen, just the way the crops were looking, were pretty good. We knew if we had a train wreck, we\u2019d buy a system so it wouldn\u2019t happen again, so why not buy the system before the train wreck and then it pays for itself?\u201d <\/p>\n

In the summer of 2019, their Bin-Sense dealer, Flaman, installed a Live system. Moreover, among their 200,000 bu of monitored grain storage, they also have 42,000 bu worth of hopper bins connected to supplemental heat air drying with temperature and moisture cables monitored by Bin-Sense Live.<\/div>

\u201cI look at grain monitoring as a solid return on investment.\u201d <\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Results<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Bin-Sense Live\u2019s communicating technology became critical later that fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a two-week vacation to Florida with our extended family,\u201d said Bergen. \u201cOn day one after landing, we got a chirp on our phone that a bin of canola had increased in temperature. We decided to watch it for two or three days and could see a constant climb of 1 to 1.5 degrees every day. We phoned home and asked some friends to take a semiload out of the bin. They took it to the elevator and we saved that bin of canola.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though heat rose in the smallest of bins, the save justified the cost of monitoring the entire yard. \u201cThere are lots of misconceptions out there about spoilage and the size of bin,\u201d said Bergen. \u201cI look at grain monitoring as a solid return on investment,\u201d noting that he paid upwards of $17,000 for the system. Saving 5,000 bu of canola, Bergen estimates Bin-Sense Live paid for itself twofold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He doesn\u2019t spend much time reconsidering the choice between Bin-Sense Live and systems where one must check grain on foot. \u201cYou can hem and haw about the investment when you have the capability to check your bins manually, but you still have to make a point of doing it. We have 30 bins on the system so it\u2019s more than a three-minute job. It\u2019s a lot of plugging in and downloading. It\u2019s nice to just bring everything up on your phone or your computer and read the colour-coded heatmaps. It\u2019s quick to interpret and see what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how to thank colleagues who have rescued valuable crops? Blake Bergen squared up, returning from Florida bearing gifts of fine imported bottles. Adding the cost to the grain monitoring bill, he still came out ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
