agriculture
Quick Summary
Dryeration is an agricultural process used primarily for drying corn (maize). In this method, wet corn is initially dried to reduce its moisture content by 10-12%. It is then transferred to a cooling bin where it is tempered for several hours. Following this tempering period, the corn is slowly cooled through ventilation over approximately 10 hours. This process is designed to minimize kernel damage and increase the overall output of the drying operation.12
