Description: There are few operational guidelines to assist grain managers to predict. on a year-to-year basis, the drying behaviour of a bulk of wheat which is continuously ventilated with near-ambient air. To study the variability of the time required for the drying front to pass completely through the top of the bulk (10th imaginary layer), simulations for each weather year were stopped when the drying front reached the third and fifth layers. For each case, drying was completed using all 28 years of historical weather data (1953-80 for Winnipeg, MB). The time to complete drying to the top layer was estimated within a 10 day range when the drying front had progressed to the midpoint of the bulk. The accuracy of the estimated time for the drying-front to pass completely through the top of the bulk increased with increasing bed depth, moisture content, or later storage date. When losses in drying time occurred during periods of "poor" drying, the time lost could not be recovered during periods of "good" drying because there was a maximum rate of drying.
