Partner with us to get the high-quality, precisely designed and constructed drying sheds your farm needs.
Drying sheds play a vital role in many farming operations, helping facilitate effective and efficient drying for harvested crops and helping prevent rot and other issues caused by excess moisture. If you need a new drying shed for your Georgia farm, our team at Merritt Mechanical Fabrication would be happy to help you find the right one for your operation. We’ve been in the agricultural construction and fabrication industry for over 50 years, and we take great pride in our long legacy of helping our customers get the solutions they need.
While there are numerous designs and sizes, the core function of all drying sheds is to remove excess moisture from harvested crops, mainly grains and legumes. Surplus moisture can cause all kinds of problems with stored grain, from rot and insect infestations to reduced market value. Grains that are dried to the correct moisture level using drying sheds typically fetch a higher market price since they are less prone to spoilage and have better quality overall.
Modern drying sheds like what we offer allow you to precisely control the moisture levels depending on the crops and conditions during harvesting. This is essential for Georgia farms—humidity is generally high in the state, but weather conditions can vary greatly during the harvesting seasons. Automation and advanced control technology also help mitigate human error that can drive down the quality of your crops.
