An agricultural storage system including an agricultural storage bin for storing agricultural products therein. At least a mixed air flow fan is connected to the agricultural storage bin for generating an air flow and air pressure and providing the same to the agricultural storage bin.

A fan assembly attaches to and may be used with an existing fan of a storage container. The fan assembly includes an exhaust fan, a mounting assembly for operatively mounting the exhaust fan to the existing fan of the storage container, and a sealing member operatively positioned between the exhaust fan and the existing fan to provide a seal to direct movement of air streams created, in part, by the exhaust fan. During operation of the exhaust fan, the exhaust fan pulls contaminated air and airborne matter from within the storage container through the existing fan and an existing duct in order to exhaust the contaminated air and airborne matter from the storage container.

Grain bin ducting systems are disclosed that more evenly disperse air through a grain bin while also preventing moisture from building up on the top and sides of a grain bin, which can lead to undesirable moisture levels for parts of the grain bin or even ruin grain. Airflow resistance may be reduced in a grain bin by having the air travel in a horizontal direction through the grain bin instead of a vertical direction. Normally, the radius of the grain bin is substantially less than the height of the grain bin, so the resistance to airflow is substantially lower than in typical grain bin ducting systems.

A roof vent system for a grain storage device is disclosed. A roof vent including a lid is operatively connected to the roof panel adjacent the opening. The lid is configured to move between an open position and a closed position. A bias member configured to apply an upward bias force to the lid to automatically move the lid to the open position. A control lever that is movable between an upper position and a lower position. The control lever is operably connected to the lid by a pull. When control lever is moved to the lower position with a force greater than the bias force of the bias member, the lid is moved to the closed position. A sealing member attached to the lid is configured to provide a seal between the lid and the roof panel when the lid is moved to the closed position.

A post-harvest crop management platform is provided for regulating conditions of an agricultural crop being dried and/or stored. The platform utilizes data collected from sensors positioned proximate to, or embedded within, an agricultural crop, and analyzes selected crop characteristics affecting the stored crop in multiple sections thereof. The platform identifies parameters relative to achieving a desired crop characteristic level in the agricultural crop, generates a profile of the selected crop characteristic across the multiple sections of the stored crop, and models an application of a fluid flow pattern to achieve the desired crop characteristic level in each section. The crop storage monitoring and management platform also actuates a multi-stack assembly, configured within the stored crop, to automatically apply the fluid flow pattern in one or more cycles that are adjustable to changing conditions within the stored crop in real time. The crop storage monitoring and management platform further integrates with, and connects to and communicates with, other systems within an autonomous field activity ecosystem.

A bin vent apparatus is described herein for use on a storage bin for agricultural products. The storage bin can have a sidewall and a roof defining an interior. The bin vent apparatus includes a plurality of discrete, roof-mounted vent filters. Each of the vents has an inlet for receiving air from an interior of the bin, an outlet for venting air from the vent, a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet, and one or more filters disposed in the fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet to filter the air received from the interior of the bin. A fan is disposed in the flow path and downstream of the one or more filters, the fan being operable to cause air to flow into the inlet, through the filter, and out of the outlet.
