To get round this problem the African Postharvest Losses Information System (APHLIS), [10] was established in 2009. APHLIS generates weight loss data using an algorithm that refers to a postharvest loss profile (PLP) that is specific to the cereal crop, climate and scale of farming (smallholder or large scale) in question. The PLP is a set of ...
This is done by assigning a standard weight to each commodity that is to be measured in bushels. These bushels depend on the commodities being measured, and on the moisture content of the commodity. Some of the more common ones are: Oats: US: 32 lb [7] (14.5150 kg) Canada: 34 lb [8] (15.4221 kg) UK: 38 lb [9] (17.2365 kg) Barley: 48 lb [7] (21. ...

The units by which the yield of a crop is usually measured today are kilograms per hectare or bushels per acre. Long-term cereal yields in the United Kingdom were some 500 kg/ha in Medieval times, jumping to 2000 kg/ha in the Industrial Revolution, and jumping again to 8000 kg/ha in the Green Revolution. [1]
A grain bin is typically much shorter than a silo, [1] and is typically used for holding dry matter such as cement or grain. Grain is often dried in a grain dryer before being stored in the bin. Bins may be round or square, but round bins tend to empty more easily due to a lack of corners for the stored material to become wedged and encrusted.
The floors of grain bins have aeration systems to keep good air flow through the commodities and keep it at a good temperature and humidity level to prevent spoilage. At the top of each grain bin there are tubed conveyors to transport the grain. The grain bin sits on top of a strong concrete base to help the structure withstand high winds and ...
