Influence of Kernel Shape and Size on the Packing Ratio and Compressibility of Hard Red Winter Wheat

Petingco, Marvin C.; Casada, Mark E.; Maghirang, Ronaldo G.; Thompson, Sidney A.; McNeill, Samuel G.; Montross, Michael D.; Turner, Aaron P. (2018)

Grain compaction occurs during bin storage, and its determination is important for the grain mass estimation needed for inventory and auditing. The degree of compaction is dependent on grain type, bin type, moisture content, ...
Stored Grain Pack Factor Measurements for Soybeans, Sorghum, Oats, Barley, and Wheat

Bhadra, Rumela; Casada, Mark E.; Turner, Aaron P.; Montross, Michael D.; Thompson, Sidney A.; McNeill, Samuel G.; Maghirang, Ronaldo G.; Boac, Josephine M. (2018-06-01)

Grain and oilseed crops stored in bins undergo compaction due to overbearing pressure of the grain inside the structure. Thus, volume measurements of grain in bins need to be combined with the amount of packing—usually ...
Estimating Ambient Ozone Effect of Kansas Rangeland Burning with Receptor Modeling and Regression Analysis

Liu, Zifei; Liu, Y.; Murphy, J. P.; Maghirang, Ronaldo (2017-02-09)

Prescribed rangeland burning in April is a long-standing practice in the Flint Hills region of eastern Kansas to maintain the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. The smoke plumes originating from these fires increases ambient ...
Stored Grain Volume MeasurementUsing a Low Density Point Cloud

Turner, A. P.; Jackson, J. J.; Koeninger, N. K.; McNeill, S. G.; Montross, M. D.; Casada, Mark E.; Boac, Josephine M.; Bhadra, Rumela; Maghirang, R. G.; Thompson, S. A. (2017-09-01)

This technical note presents the development of a new apparatus and data processing method to accurately estimate the volume of stored grain in a bin. Specifically, it was developed to account for the variability in surface ...
Effects of Intra-Storm Soil Moisture and Runoff Characteristics on Ephemeral Gully Development: Evidence from a No-Till Field Study

Karimov, Vladimir R.; Sheshukov, Aleksey Y. (2017-09-28)

Ephemeral gully erosion, prevalent on agricultural landscapes of the Great Plains, is recognized as a large source of soil loss and a substantial contributor to the sedimentation of small ponds and large reservoirs. ...
