## Description

This MCP server provides specialized agricultural calculations for grain storage management. It allows AI agents to determine the total volume and mass capacity of round bins using `calculate_bin_capacity`. Users can estimate how high a grain pile will reach with `estimate_grain_height`, determine necessary airflow and static pressure for fan selection with `calculate_aeration_requirements`, and account for settling effects using `adjust_for_pack_factor`.

## Tools

### calculate_aeration_requirements
Estimates the air movement needs and the resistance (static pressure) for fan selection

### calculate_bin_capacity
Determines the total volume and mass capacity of a specific bin

### estimate_grain_height
Calculates the expected height of a grain pile for a specific quantity of grain

### adjust_for_pack_factor
Calculates the specific adjustment coefficient for a grain's volume based on its physical properties

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the capacity of a bin with a 30ft diameter, 40ft eave height, and 5ft roof peak for corn with a 56lb test weight and 15% moisture?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total capacity for your corn storage is 12,450 bushels.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How high will 5,000 bushels of wheat reach in a 24ft diameter bin with 30ft eave height?
```

**Response:** 
```
The grain pile will reach a height of 22.5 feet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the aeration needs for a 40ft high grain mass in a 30ft diameter bin containing soybeans?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required airflow is 1,200 CFM with an estimated static pressure of 0.5 inches of water column.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the total capacity of my bin?**
You can use the `calculate_bin_capacity` tool by providing the bin diameter, eave height, roof peak height, grain type, test weight, and moisture content.

**Can I estimate fan requirements for aeration?**
Yes, the `calculate_aeration_requirements` tool estimates the required airflow and static pressure needed to aerate a specific grain mass.

**Does the tool account for grain settling?**
Yes, the `adjust_for_pack_factor` tool calculates adjustment coefficients based on grain type, moisture, and storage duration to account for settling.
