A bagging assembly for bagging bales of fibrous material is disclosed. The bagging assembly incorporates a chute defining a channel for receiving a bale, which is pushed there between by a stuffing assembly. Aspects of the bagging assembly include raising a bale using a bale elevator to a higher elevation position so that the bale could be stuffed by the stuffing assembly and using a bag retrieving mechanism for retrieving a bag from a bag location for use in bagging the bale.

While an inside air control system is performing an air composition maintenance action, a controller instructs a gas supply device to operate while switching among a first supply operation, a second supply operation, an outside air supply operation, and a standby operation. In the first supply operation, first low oxygen concentration air is supplied into a container. In the second supply operation, second low oxygen concentration air having a lower oxygen concentration than the first low oxygen concentration air is supplied into the container. In the outside air supply operation, outside air is supplied into the container. In the standby operation, supply of the low oxygen concentration air and the outside air into the container is stopped.

An ozone treatment apparatus for grain uses first and second storage bins and an auger conveyor for conveying the grain from a first end in communication with the bottom of the first bin to a second end that can be directed into either one of the top of the first bin or the top of the second bin. An ozone injector injects ozone into the auger conveyor for mixing with and treating the conveyed grain. In a first mode, the conveyor discharges the grain from the second end of the conveyor through a first discharge outlet into the first storage bin to recycle the grain during treatment. In a second mode, the conveyor discharges the grain through a second discharge outlet into the second storage bin once treatment is complete.

A modular, low-profile apparatus for storing dry agricultural products has a horizontal configuration with coaxial aeration tubes and bi-directional distribution and dispensing augers. The apparatus provides access to dry agriculture products for storing, mixing, aerating, loading, unloading and processing.

The present invention provides an autonomous harvesting system designed to be mounted onto a standard collection bin/wagon for autonomously harvesting and filing the bin.

Methods and systems for performing pest infestation forewarning are described. In one embodiment, intuition based forewarning method includes collecting and storing core data and surroundings data, wherein the core data includes parameters describing a system and ring data includes parameters describing surroundings of grain storage container-based (e.g., silo-based) environments. The collected core data and ring data are analyzed to determine one or more changing situations of the storage container-based (e.g., silo-based) environments. A system forewarning is generated based on the changing situations that are observed.
