Record 2 2010-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

The grain placed in the drying bin should be relatively clean. Fines, chaff, small or broken seeds and weed seeds increase the grain's resistance to airflow. Fines also tend to accumulate in the center of the bin and may spoil due to lack of conditioning.

CONT

Good quality, clean, sound grain is much easier to maintain in storage than cracked and broken grain. Broken kernels will mold three to four times faster than whole kernels. Broken grain also is more susceptible to insect attack, since some insects feed only on broken or cracked kernels. It is critical that initial grain condition receives considerable attention.
