Options for storing higher moisture grain
Key Messages:
- High-moisture grain is not safe to store without aeration or drying, but can be temporarily held in silos with aeration cooling before being dried or blended
- It’s important to regularly monitor stored grain temperatures to avoid spoilage
- Do not store high moisture grain infected with fungi or moulds
With wet and cool weather continuing to complicate harvest, growers may be thinking about their options for managing higher moisture grain (either this year or in future seasons).
So, what are the key things to consider?
