The Indian-meal moth has a wing-spread of about 2 centimetres. The forewings are creamy white next to the body, and have a reddish-brown colour with a coppery lustre on the outer two-thirds. The female moth lays about 200 eggs, either singly or in groups, on food material. The larvae are dirty white in colour, often with a greenish or pinkish tint. The newly hatched larvae are almost never seen because of their small size and the fact that they burrow as far as two metres into the grain mass. They normally remain in the grain until they have completed their larval growth. When fully grown they are about 1. 2 centimetres long. In summer their life cycle is about six weeks. 1, record 2, English, - indian%2Dmeal%20moth

The Indian-meal moth is cosmopolitan in distribution, feeding on stored grain as well as nuts, dried fruits and packaged cereals. The principal damage caused to wheat is to the germ: a single larva may destroy the germ of approximately 50 kernels in completing its development. Degermed kernels reduce the grade and produce flour inferior in baking quality. 1, record 2, English, - indian%2Dmeal%20moth

La pyrale indienne de la farine est un insecte cosmopolite qui se nourrit du grain entreposé ainsi que de noix, de fruits secs et de céréales en boîte. Elle s'attaque principalement au germe du grain de blé; en effet, une seule chenille peut détruire le germe d'environ cinquante grains au cours de son développement. La présence de grains dégermés diminue la qualité des céréales ainsi que la valeur boulangère de la farine. 2, record 2, French, - pyrale%20indienne%20de%20la%20farine

Les ailes de la pyrale indienne de la farine ont une envergure d'environ 2 cm. Les ailes antérieures sont, à la base, d'un blanc crème et, sur les deux tiers restants, d'un brun roux aux reflets cuivrés. La femelle pond environ deux cents œufs, qu'elle expulse isolément ou en groupe sur ce qui lui sert de nourriture. La chenille est de couleur blanc jaunâtre, souvent teintée de verdâtre ou de rosâtre. Il est difficile de déceler la présence de la chenille nouvellement éclose parce qu'elle est très petite et qu'elle pénètre jusqu'à 2 m de profondeur dans la masse des grains. Elle y demeure habituellement jusqu'à la nymphose. Elle mesure à ce moment environ 1,2 cm. En été, le cycle évolutif demande environ six semaines. 2, record 2, French, - pyrale%20indienne%20de%20la%20farine

Canadian whiskeys are light in body and flavour and are always blends of both highly flavoured and neutral grain whiskeys. They are made from mashes composed of combinations of corn, rye, wheat, and barely malt prepared according to the formula of the individual producer. Canadian whiskies are usually aged for at least six years, then reduced with water to an alcoholic content of about 45 percent by volume before bottling. 5, record 3, English, - Canadian%20whisky

[...] Outre ses activités régulières, qui consistent essentiellement à intervenir auprès du gouvernement provincial en matière de politique agricole et à organiser des congrès et des séminaires pour renseigner ses membres, l'Association participe à de nombreuses activités connexes et siège à certains comités liés à l'industrie du grain proprement dite, par exemple le Conseil des grains du Canada.

From the tempering bins, the grain passes to an impact aspirator. This machine has a variable speed drive set to ensure a fairly severe scouring of the wheat against the body of the aspirator. It is important to operate the impact aspirator at a controlled speed : fast enough to effectively achieve its purpose but not so fast as to fragment the durum grains. The purpose of scouring is twofold : to dislodge and remove the germ from the berry; to scour off the outer skin, called beeswing, from the grain, and separate this material from the mass by aspiration, thereby reducing the microbial count of the grain. 1, record 8, English, - impact%20aspirator

Il est important d'utiliser l'aspirateur à percussion à une vitesse assez rapide pour atteindre le but recherché, mais pas assez pour fragmenter les grains de blé. Le but de ce brossage énergique est double : déloger et enlever le germe de l'amande; décoller la membrane de son extérieure (soufflures) et la séparer de la masse par aspiration, réduisant ainsi la numération microbienne du grain. 1, record 8, French, - aspirateur%20%C3%A0%20percussion

A limitation of the first Buffalo sloped-bin elevator was the amount of cross-elevator grain conveyance.
