Grain Drying Program

MWEC Low-Temperature Grain Drying Program: 5.4 cents per KWH (kilowatt hour)

When the weather conditions are less than favorable during harvest, farmers have no choice but to get their crop harvested and in the bin. This is why an efficient and dependable grain drying system, at a reasonable rate, is essential. MWEC is pleased to offer this successful program to the members. It's available for the farmer who needs fans for conditioning or adding heat to lower the humidity and moisture content of their grain.

Program Information

The discounted rate of 5.4 cents per KWH applies to electric dryers and fans.

A minimum load, including fan and heater, must be 5 KW (kilowatts) to qualify.

Your heaters and fans can be either permanently mounted to one bin or portable for use on multiple bins.

Metering for grain dryers can be either submetered or separately metered, depending on the distance from your farm's master meter. Under certain circumstances, base charges will apply.

Loans are also available for the installation of grain drying equipment.
