New Dryer in Story City

 Our second new corn dryer for the NW Key Cooperative region has arrived and is being installed at the Story City location to replace the existing dryer. Work is going well, but still much remains to be completed.
Wet Leg Installed at Roland
ROLAND, IA – September, 2, 2010
 The bottom conveyor coming out of the wet corn holding bin and the new wet corn leg are being hooked up today at the Roland S-14 location. This morning's threatening storm clouds have dissipated somewhat and work is continuing as of mid-morning.
August Starts Wet, Ends Wet
ROLAND, IA – September, 1, 2010
We had rain three of the first four days in August, near record breaking downpours with flooding in the second week, and we have ended the month with more heavy rain. Kelley had 4.55" yesterday and last night, Roland 3.27", Nevada 3.10", Story City 2.14", Gilbert 1.62", and Zearing 1.7". For the month of August, Kelley reports 18.19", Nevada 15.32", Gilbert 15.25", Roland 14.37", and Story City 14.34". In 1993 our growing season total (April 1-Sept. 30) for Roland was 48.93 inches. So far this growing season, Roland has had 37.67" since April 1st, which beat our old second place number of 37.02" in 1990. We are hopeful that we do not challenge the '93 number with any additional rainfall we receive this September.
