The Grain Temp Guard- Endzone, Product Combination Protects Your CORN; in BEANs it makes you money!
It’s not too late to score all of your points in the EndZone!
- 20,000 bushels of soybeans(or wheat) at 10% moisture.
- The EndZone system equipment is installed on the bin. Typical cost for a 20,000 bushel bin is $3800 and is made to be farmer friendly/farmer installed.
System is set to increase to a few months. - Soybeans take on moisture, increasing to approximately 13%, increasing the grain volume by one semi load, 54,000 pounds of water.
- In today’s soybean market, this is an additional $12,600 in revenue.
Producers may want to recondition soybeans harvested at lower moisture contents to bring the moisture up to the market standard of 13%. On a 40-bushel-per-acre yield, harvesting soybeans at 9% moisture contents, rather than 13%, is equal to 1.8 bushels of lost weight per acre. At $9 per bushel, that is $16.20 per acre.
Just as grain is dried with bin fans, soybeans can be reconditioned by operating fans during periods with the desired air temperature and relative humidity.
Reconditioning requires high airflow rates for several weeks using air with an average relative humidity of about 70% to recondition soybeans to 13% during normal fall temperatures of 300 F to 600 F. Read More

Grain Bin Fan Control Overview:
- EndZone is designed to turn grain bin fans on and off while using multiple outside inputs.
- EndZone can be set to allow fan operation only when temperature is between two set parameters, a high and low set point.
- EndZone can be set to allow fan operation only when relative humidity is between two set parameters, a high and low set point.
- EndZone can be connected and automatically turned on by a Grain Temp Guard which has triggered an alarm (activating the fan when temperature and humidity are between the preset high low range.)
- EndZone the strongest indication/need for this device is in the accurate natural air drying of grain or the automatic activation of a fan to alleviate a hotspot.
- EndZone can be activated by a Grain Temp Guard and allow the external alarm to be active or turned off.
- EndZone can help reduce the risk of over drying the grain at the bottom of a bin.
- EndZone can be used to accurately add moisture too or remove moisture form soybeans(+/-1/2%)%) {may not be successful if the grain depth is over 18 to 20 feet] if adequate air flow CFM are present.
- EndZone can allow the fan to be set to “automatic” control, manual “on”, or the “off” position.
- EndZone can allow the fan to be set to “automatic” control, monitoring only outside weather conditions with or without a link to a Grain Temp Guard.
- EndZone will track how many hours your fans have been activated and allow you to periodically reset the timer to zero when-ever you determine it isappropriate.

Complete Moisture Management System for a large bin
Wires can be run into the bin and then through conduit to protect the moisture management system.
Wires can be run though conduit and then attached to rebar to keep everything organized.
Rebar can be used to place sensors throughout the bin at appropriate levels
