As much fun as this summer's been, we all know it's going to come to an end.  We like to try to get our corn bin's filled before the current season's crop of corn comes off the field.  This is because sometimes we can find a farmer who has some sub-standard corn that was left over in his bins from last season and that farmer will need the space for this year's crop.

We place our "corn wanted" ad in Craigs List and hope someone finds it.   If we can get a call, we go check the corn.  In our boiler, we need the corn dry like everyone else - but it can be moldy or dirty.  And this is what gets us the best price when we're stocking up for the winter heating season.

It worked out for us this year, and so we've saved about 1/2 the cost per bushel that "good" corn would have cost.  We do deal with lower BTU's this way, but we still feel it's definitely cost effective.

What about you, have you started getting your corn in yet?

What a beautiful weekend for a fair.  It was warm, but a nice breeze to cool you off.  We met some great people and had some more great conversations.  What a diverse community there is in Hutchinson, MN.

The people from American Energy Systems have a great product, they showed their stoves to perfection.  There were three corn burners going and it really caught peoples eyes.   ( But was a little warm to sit by on an August day)
