Picture in your mind a 20 foot length of rope lying on the ground. A small 5 year old girl picks up one end. A burly, grown man picks up the other and they begin a tug-of-war. It is not hard to imagine who will win no matter how many times the scenario plays out. This is the image you must keep in your mind when when you are taught the grain reduction theory of drying. That theory is the small child.

Water contains very strong properties that bond the molecules together and they are far more powerful than reducing grains above the evaporating surface. In fact if you could reduce the grains in the flooded space to zero ( a physical impossibility) not a single drop of water would evaporate as a result of your weak efforts.

If you are purchasing equipment that is touted to reduce grains, you are betting your money on the little girl.
