Harvest dry then you do not need to dry.
We have two F2 Gleaners. Love the small ones. I've started doing small scale grain and its been a big hassle. Its easy to do the commodity stuff when you have a 10K bu bin or larger and can fill it.
What do you do when you get 60 bu?
Lots of options out there including stack and store totes, but keep this in mind...pest damage. Raccoons, mice, rats, possums, insects, the list goes on. Sweating in the bin or in the wagon. How are you going to control all of that. How are you going to clean your grain? You harvester is nice, but it is not a seed cleaner.
Gravity beds are the way to go, with running gear. One for each crop is best with a place to store them inside and a heavy tarp that you can strap down to keep critters out. Then get a seed cleaner. A small two screen set-up like a clipper M2 works just fine and there is at least one company that is making new versions of them.
I clean and then store the cleaned grain in plastic food grade 55 gallon drums with lock lids with rubber gaskets that you can find at ULINE.
Auger vs. blown is mainly a food issue not a grain issue. Blown in is cleaner auger is cheaper. Lots of fine debris, metal shavings, and fouled grain inside one that ends up in the food being stored. Not so much an issue if you are going to sell it to Cargill. More an issue if you are going to eat it or sell it.
Cleaning out the weed seed certainly drops moisture several points. We simply fan our bin, which only works to keep low level moisture under control and dries unevenly. It works though even if the lower levels are bit overly dry. Its certainly cheaper than burning energy to heat and dry. Then you risk heat damage too.
I ran black turtle beans through our one F2 last year. Set it up for soybeans (which we were doing that year) and then ran the turtle beans through. Worked like an absolute charm. 2000 pounds of turtle beans run through fast as anything. Waiting to do buckwheat. That'll be fun.
