Reduce your harvest risks and stop losing grain quality
In-Bin Drying (IBD) Monitor
In-bin drying can give you very low cost, low effort, grain drying capacity on your farm that you can fire up at a moments notice. But up until now it could be very unpredictable.
Drying grain in an aeration bin without instrumentation is like taking a week long trip in a car with no speedometer, odometer, navigation or road signs. You don’t know how fast you’re going and you don’t know when you’ll get to your destination. You don’t even know if you are going in the right direction! You are simply blind and potentially risking the grain in your bin.
Over dried grain is costing you money!

Top Grade Ag’s - IBD Monitor provides the following gauge cluster:
The drying rate in gallons of water per hour
The estimated time until your grain reaches target moisture content
The bin average moisture content at anytime while you are drying grain
Glenn has been great to deal with from the moment he showed up in my yard. His knowledge of drying grain with aeration blew me away. His platform works very well and the notifications give me peace of mind throughout the winter. Top Grade Ag’s system has taken the guess work out of just turning on the fans and assuming things are dry. The hardware and system are priced very reasonably but he also guided me through the government programs and was able to save me almost half!
Great product support.
The cost is a small fraction of equivalent systems through competitors.
Glenn and the guys at TGA are very knowledgeable when it comes to grain drying.and monitoring. They are constantly improving their product with updates and add ons, and if there is a problem with a sensor or cable, it is repaired almost instantly.
The app is getting easier and easier to use as time goes on, and is very accurate. I know almost instantly when my grain is starting to get warm. That alone makes the TGA products worth it.
Very nice to know costs and how drying is progressing to avoid over/under drying or having fans on during the right conditions.
I had a bin of Wheat in a remote yard that was starting to warm up. If not for the Top Grade Ag control center app I probably would not have caught it.
Having an in-bin drying system has changed the way I start harvest. By starting earlier and using the Top Grade Ag system, I can capture more higher quality grain and take advantage of the higher outdoor temperatures to keep my drying costs down. The user-friendly web app keeps me informed of what is happening in my bins and gives me some predictability on what I can expect from the drying process. After three years of trouble-free operation, I do not hesitate to recommend this system to others.
Glenn is great at returning calls and emails. Always very helpful.
This system takes away the “Black box” feel of in-bin drying. It provides predictability and with that comes reduced stress!
A product that makes the science of in-bin drying reliable and repeatable. A very simple system that allows the guesswork to be removed when grain is dried in the bin. We were able to dry 20% wheat and 16% canola in the bin this year and know that it was dry when the sensors/website told us it was. The biggest benefit I see to in bin drying is the risk of fire is almost zero combined with no need of supervision. The biggest downfall is not knowing when the grain is dry. This product solves that!
Rather than going by the seat of your pants, you get an idea whats happening in your bin. Helps with planning.
Found it very informative to monitor humidity levels, both as grain dried within the bin, as well as outside humidity changes. Provided great comfort to know drying progress & when to expect target moisture levels – predictability.
