Soybeans sometimes need to be harvested at higher moisture than the storage moisture content due to time constraints and weather. Many times the soybean moisture content can be reduced with aerated alone but sometime drying will be required. Soybeans can become brittle and crack if dried too fast or with low humidity air. The following bulletins have more details on using different types of dryers to reduce the moisture content of soybeans should you have wet soybeans.
