How To Clone Emerald Gpsphone

Zoom Hervé Guichemerre

Hervé Guichemerre, Pomarez farmer, is one of the 9 members of the network operators FARRE 40 since 2000.

that time was Hervé breeder blonde d'Aquitaine and produced corn. Since that year, he stopped his breeding and continuous corn production only.

For several years, one of the main concerns about its operation is energy conservation. Also, for this purpose, Herve has stopped tilling the land for nearly 10 years and practiced direct seeding with strip-till since 2007.

His concern for energy conservation goes further. Its operation has the distinction of having a large linear hedges. The wood of these hedges was partly recovered as firewood but all branches were not recovered, representing a source of energy lost. Paradoxically it, exploitation of Hervé lot of energy when drying corn.

Upon reflection, it seemed logical to seek to enhance Hervé these branches. So he thought about putting in place a system of using corn drier wood. After several searches, it will move towards a wood boiler plate. However his corn drier wood boiler will still be coupled with an oil burner.

He made his first mill site in August 2008 and launched his corn drier in November 2008.

During the first season of use, Herve is different problems: arching platelets, increased monitoring of the burner, maladjustments kiln burner ect .. The results of the first year is still positive. Despite high humidity of the crop (38%) and very bad weather (cold and humidity), about 800 T corn were dried with only about 8 000L of fuel consumed. This represents a saving of about 22 000 L.

Some adjustments were needed for the 2009 season allowing a better record. The dried wood burner the entire corn crop without Herve have to use its oil burner.

Hervé continues to refine the method of drying the corn but also to develop other energy sources (solar) but also to reduce its energy needs. Eventually, he wants to produce more energy than it consumes and become ENERGICULTEUR.
