So, less than 2000 bu. If you mention milo, you are in a dry area, so closer to 1000 bu. Are you looking for a batch drier (pto or electric powered?) or a bit drier? I guess I would look for a small 1500 bu bin with a slotted floor used, put that in, and with a big fan in a dry climate that often works - let the fan run 2 weeks. If you aren't as dry as I'm thinking, you can attach a propane heater to the fan tunnel & supply heat. Without stirators, you would need to pull a load or 2 of garin out when you are done, & auger it back in again to mix it up a bit. But this option works here because you can find the stuff around. This does not always give a perfect uniform drying that you can store until next August every year; but it keeps the grain over cold winter & if you feed out of it every week that keeps things stirred, which keeps it from spoiling. If you need a batch drier, the little ones are cheap, but cost a lot to run & maintain for the few bu you are putting through. There are some as small as 200-300 bu, need electricity (50-60 amps) and a tank of propane. Most have been junked by now in my region that small. --->Paul
