Gary Ellenshon- Iowa "We have one 30 foot bin with a Shivvers unit in it, we’ve eliminated some other (dryers) in other bins and now just use them for storage, it blended in well with the existing set up that we had before."

The only time it shut down is when we got rain and I ran out of corn, otherwise it ran non-stop."
