Abstract

Grain Drying Control With Model Predictive Methods has moved quickly from a research idea to something a working farm can
actually use, but the evidence behind it has not always kept pace. We pull together the current evidence for grain drying control
with model predictive methods, covering the methodological, practical, governance and cost angles, with an eye on where practice
has genuinely settled and where farms and advisors are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific
adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance
