Grain and crop dryers
The best answer to this question would be to reduce costs and expenses. It is common for technology to wear out over time, and operating costs are constantly rising. Another factor that affects us, whether we like it or not, is global and local trends, which offer us drying methods and technologies that allow us to achieve a better market position.
The right choice would be to convert drying technologies—switching from fuels such as heating oil to LPG. This will not only affect the final efficiency of the combustion process but also extend the service life of the equipment to 15 years.
How to sell corn at a higher price?
The primary goal of every farmer will always be to sell their crops at the highest possible prices. This can be achieved through proper hot-air drying at the appropriate humidity level. Such corn can then be sold at a higher price or stored and sold at a more favorable price depending on market demand.
How to secure future income?
Every farmer who wants to maintain their income in the future must also be an entrepreneur and plan expenses based on potential benefits. In this case, there are many factors beyond our control, such as weather conditions and the moisture content of the harvested grain. By choosing to lease Flaga’s LPG storage tanks and technology, you can significantly reduce high initial investment costs and avoid unnecessary expenses for service, maintenance, or emergency repairs in the event of a breakdown.
Furthermore, when using LPG technology, there is no need to pay fixed costs associated with so-called transmission fees or network maintenance, as is the case with natural gas. Another major benefit is the ability to lock in the gas price for the entire drying season. Thanks to this, our customers are fully protected against potentially negative and unpredictable factors that affect gas purchase costs, such as: exchange rates, rising production costs, global fuel prices, and political upheavals that may impact the supply chain. Timely information on expenses makes it significantly easier to plan revenue levels and ensure profitability.
Global trends and corn prices
According to a global report by the Tidge portal, the wholesale price of corn in the United States has fallen to its lowest level in the last four years. This was due to low demand for corn in ethanol production—a key component of biofuels—as well as reduced corn usage for animal feed. The downturn was triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. We do not yet know its full impact on the European market, but the potential impact on demand for grains is worth noting. Globally, about 40% of corn is used for ethanol production and 36% for animal feed. Experts warn that prices will follow the downward trend in oil prices.
The environmental aspect and climate change
Every household, manufacturing plant, and farm, whether they like it or not, will have to pay closer attention to the impact of their activities on the local environment. The goal of every farm is usually to reduce emissions, which is why switching from heating oil to LPG is one of the steps in the conscious and active fight against smog. The "ECO" prefix has already become a standard that allows companies to sell their products at higher prices, which is an excellent contribution to the future of our next generations.
