 the Sierra Grant project and we again appreciate the support that that brought to us. This is cement block construction and then we blew green zero insulation onto the cement block and we used a lot of consultants and resources to determine the R factor and what we needed to do and the 110 geothermal is what is keeping this at 50. The 50 to the 50 degree mark is what will prevent weevil outbreak and we don't use any, we don't even use diatomaceous or tenacious earth that we clean our own grains and that is actually so dangerous if you're cleaning because of the dust and their lungs it can really be quite dangerous. So this and certified organic wholesale sales this is the kind of facility just like a warehouse that Kroger or anybody else has. This is our warehousing and we don't use any chemicals and the only thing we use is mousetraps but we had one outbreak a few early on but we had learned lessons and added some barriers and and we haven't had a problem since but we do keep traps set so we can watch for any signs in here the dust is minimal nothing comes in here till it's cleaned and bagged nothing comes out until the order is placed and so this stays pretty closely controlled. When we're bagging after we clean we test coming out of the field we don't have grain dryers that's another thing that makes it really challenging for us we couldn't have harvested wheat this year as many farmers struggled with that even trying to keep it under 18 percent but we have moisture readers so when we're on the combine we'll read the moisture going into the combine and not combine until the conditions the out weather conditions and the humidity or the moisture levels of the grain are right and then once we clean it and but and we bag it in that three ply bag with vapor barrier then if you get it into cold storage and you keep it at that 50 degrees then that we have not had it stays at that constant moisture we have not had any problem even with the geothermal cooling a lot of people felt that might put too much moisture in the air but that's why you've got to keep it at 50 because the colder temperatures don't allow that condensation and if this gets up to close to 60 then you can you know you can tell that's why we've got to keep it at that 50 level so but we've never had a problem with it the moisture increasing once we put it in here this is a non porous material and with the three ply vapor barrier that has worked for us we can expand we have room to expand into other parts of the barn and we could just route new ductwork and do similar type of construction so and if we outgrow this then you know that's the beauty of a barn and dad had the foresight to cover it in aluminum siding I don't know if you looked up but it's the original barn built 1900 something with all the original timbers and so he covered it in the 70s wasn't it dad with aluminum siding just in working with grains in hot humid temperatures in Indiana then you you go oh well you can't sell it like that so how do you fix that and you start asking questions and then the network you know of people I think we're really blessed to have Roy Ballard in this region and in rush county they don't we went to extension first and they weren't really interested in much other than sheep that was his expertise so not every extension agent at that time had an interest in even going to specialty crops because it's just so obscure in traditional agriculture production so we're fortunate to have a resource you know and and Purdue and you know just in asking questions I think you always end up back at Sayre for the type of production that we all do because that you guys all do that or teach about it or understand the complexities of diverse agriculture and any money that a farmer can get we're going to go after Jefferson Agricultural Institute I give that link out to many people who are getting involved in the specialty crop production because just the intricacies of each crop are make it very challenging to diversify but with the crazy weather conditions I think in any state people are struggling with that the diversification becomes critical we start out hey we're gonna we're gonna try to have this this this and this but we end up with maybe three items so it's hard to market when you're an agricultural producer too because you can't project you don't know what you're going to end up with at the end of the season but we want to use our website to tell that story if we don't have much flax then we can explain why so I think that's a part of the education and uh importance of farmers working together in regions to you know fill bulk bins diversify and not have mono agriculture it was a city boy a veteran he was a green brain for 12 years he got on a tractor and it gave him uh you know fulfillment he now knows that he can grow food for people when he was in the service he was serving others in a different capacity and so it's really been life changing for him and uh so it's been a journey we got it completed and it has certainly been I mean it just you know opened the door to wholesaling for us which you can't wholesale if you don't have a room like this so we hope to participate in who's your harvest market the main thing that's holding us up in our ball jar packaging is the ground product we'd hope that would move forward quickly nothing ever happens quickly they are experts in equipment we are experts in food and so we you never know how much somebody knows about food until you get started so we've got a ways to go but uh it's all working
