Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: ingesting, as input data, weather information, crop-specific information for a stored grains crop, and grain storage facility information, modeling the input data in a plurality of data processing modules within a computing environment in which the plurality of data processing modules are executed in conjunction with at least one processor, the data processing modules configured to profile moisture content of the stored grains crop relative to impacts of time-varying weather conditions, in-bin drying characteristics, and existing crop moisture conditions on an equilibrium moisture content of a grains crop stored in a grain storage facility, by generating, as output data, a rate of forced-air ventilation to achieve a desired moisture content in a harvest output condition profile.
