GRAIN DRYING FACILITY

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide grain drying facility capable of continuously handling processes from feeding of drying grain to carrying-out of drying finished grain. SOLUTION: This grain drying facility is provided with a plurality of drying machines. A grain carrying-out port of the drying machine at a preceding step and a grain carrying-in port of the drying machine at a rear step are mutually connected by a grain conveyance device from the drying machine 1 at the first step to the drying machine 5 at the final step in order. Drying grain is fed from a grain carrying-in port 24 of the drying machine 1 at the first step and drying grain is dried up to a predetermined finished water content value in sequential relay feeding processes from the drying machine 1 at the first step to the drying machine 5 at the final step. Finished dried grain is carried out of the grain carrying-out port 25 of the drying machine 5 at the final step. The drying machines 1, 2, 3, 4 at each step from the first step to a step before the final step are set to start relay feeding of dried grain when respective drying machines at rear steps become empty, and the drying machine 5 at the final step is set to start carrying-out when drying grain reaches a drying stop water content value (the finished water content value).
