Drying

Tatiara Seeds purchased its first grain dryer in 1985. Since then demand for drying seed has increased to such an extent that there are 3 Vertec grain dryers available to dry any type of seed. Lucerne and Phalaris seed growers are the greatest users of the grain dryers to remove moisture so that the seed can be safely stored.

The grain dryers use gas to heat and dry the air which then passes through the seed, taking moisture with it. The temperature is carefully monitored so that germination is not affected.

The cost is determined by the size of the lot, the amount of moisture to be removed, the type of seed and the amount of gas used.

Graham Ramsdale or Rob Botha are available to discuss any needs relating to drying seed.
