  • Publication number: 20100257125
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention is directed toward a networked grain aeration control system. For example, the system can provide centralized monitoring of the aeration of a number of grain storage facilities, thereby improving the management of stored grain. The networked grain aeration control system can allow the custodian of the system to offer an aeration service. Farmers, or other individuals, cooperatives, or companies can purchase the aeration service at a cost proportionate to the amount of stored grain to be aerated and the duration of storage. In this manner, the purchaser of the aeration service can avoid relatively high fixed costs that can be associated with various aeration hardware.

  • Publication number: 20060108434
    Abstract: Impartial co-management to aid crop marketing is disclosed. A crop co-manager is associated with a plurality of crop storage facilities. The crop co-manager receives facility data that indicates conditions that are associated with the respective crop storage facility. The crop co-manager selects/generates a policy to co-manage the crop storage facility in light of the facility data. A controller controls the crop storage facility according to the policy and generates data for a crop management history record. The crop management history record is associated with the crop co-manager. Limited access to the crop co-manager is available to one or more market participants in order to promote an impartial, reliable, and fraud proof crop market.
