Replace your existing grain dryer with a new high-efficiency grain dryer to reduce natural gas use in your harvesting processes and to avoid excessive repairs. High-efficiency models often feature improved grain handling and control systems that can dry grains more consistently. Qualifying new high-efficiency grain dryers that replace existing grain dryers are eligible for rebates.
