Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for drying a cereal grass, such as alfalfa, barley, clover, rye grass, Timothy grass, and the stalks, stems, grains and leaves of a cereal grass, such as oats, wheat, buckwheat, maize, millet, rice and sorghum. The systems include a first pressing roll and a second pressing roll that form a nip through which the cereal grass or forage crop can be pressed, pressing the liquid out of the cereal grass or forage crop to form a first product stream comprising a dewatered cereal grass or forage crop and a second product stream comprising liquid pressed out of the cereal grass or forage crop; at least one suction device for collecting the second product stream; an atomizer for converting the second product stream into droplets that can be applied to the surface of the first product stream; a drying chamber; and a circulation system for moving a drying medium through the drying chamber.
