Combine harvesters are provided for use in harvesting seed corn from corn plants in fields. In connection therewith, a method for producing such seed corn from the corn plants, for use in growing subsequent corn plants, includes measuring a moisture content of corn kernels on ears of the corn plants in the field and removing, by one of the combine harvesters, the ears of corn from the corn plants when the moisture content satisfies a threshold moisture content. The method then includes separating the corn kernels from cobs of the ears of corn onboard the combine harvester and collecting the separated corn kernels for use as seed corn, whereby one or more subsequent corn plants can be grown from the collected corn kernels.

In one or more arrangements, an aerated floor system for grain bins is presented. The system includes a plurality of planks positioned above one or more airflow passageways. The plurality of planks have a plurality of perforations to facilitate the flow of air through the planks. The system includes one or more filters positioned below the plurality of planks to catch flour, dust, and/or debris that fall through the plurality of perforations of the plurality of planks while permitting air to be moved upward through the one or more filters and the plurality of planks. In this manner, the build-up of flour, dust, and/or debris in the one or more airflow passageways is reduced.

An air conditioning system and methods of use regulate a moisture content of an agricultural product in a grain bin. The system receives headspace air from the headspace of the grain bin, which generally has a higher moisture content than ambient air. The system further receives ambient air and mixes the headspace air and the ambient air into a ratio comprising a target moisture content. The air mixture is provided into a grain bin plenum, where it then permeates through to agricultural product, thereby regulating the moisture. The system and method can be used to bring the agricultural product to a target moisture content that is preferred when storing the agricultural product.
