Hi Brad,
Thanks for the pics as it sure teachs us youngsters that never been there, done that!
Have you ever considered using solar heat to dry your corn? I don't know what your propane bill runs for such, but a solar dryer would be a easy winter/spring project for under $1000 cost, new materials no labor that would supply 170�F air maximum. It could also be used to heat your home/shop or ?.
If 170�F air is not adequate, you could increase the temperature "upto" 2000�F with some redesign with knowing the dangers of operating/designing low/high pressure steam equipment. The sun has alot of free energy to give for a good price.
The below link is to my thoughts on such.
With alittle more effort/cost, one could also supply chilled water for AC use that could replace electric refrigeration.
