Condominium(condo) storage refers to space that a producer may own or lease within a licensed primary elevator... Using condo storage enables producers to position their grain closer to the market and allows them to initiate a sale at any time from anywhere around the world. Producers are also able to avoid spring road bans and the difficulty of moving grain by truck in the winter from on farm storage bins to a primary elevator. In the case of Canadian Wheat Board grain, condo storage allows producers to deliver into the elevator system above quotas and prior to a contract call. 2, record 1, English, - condominium%20storage

La capacité de stockage garantie se rapporte à l'espace qu'un producteur peut acheter ou louer à l'intérieur d'un silo primaire agréé [...] Avoir recours au stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de rapprocher leur grain des débouchés et réaliser une vente en tout temps avec n'importe quel coin du monde. Les producteurs peuvent également éviter les interdictions s'appliquant aux routes au printemps et la difficulté d'acheminer le grain par camion des cellules de stockage à la ferme à un silo primaire en hiver. Dans le cas du grain de la Commission canadienne du blé, le stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de livrer du grain dans le réseau de silos au-delà des contingents et avant l'appel à un contrat. 2, record 1, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20stockage%20garantie%20au%20producteur

... bond formation is closely related to snow strength. Formation of bonds occurs by diffusion of water vapor through the pore space between grain as well as by molecular motion on the surfaces when crystals touch. Therefore, like metamorphism, bond formation is strongly affected by conditions at and near crystal and grain surfaces. Although curvature effects are not generally the primary driving force to move the water vapor through the pore space in an alpine snowpack, they can play a role in determining where water vapor molecules condense on a crystal to form a bond. 2, record 4, English, - bond

A column drier is equipped with one or more unobstructed columns through which grain falls by gravity. The columns are about 30 centimetres apart and are sheathed on either side by perforated screens or wire mesh which retain the grain but permit passage of air. On one side of each column, space is allowed for air entry and on the other side, air is discharged. Hot air passes across the column at the top of the drier, drying grain as it falls. In a similar manner, cool air passes across the bottom of the column to cool the grain. Some energy conservation has been achieved by recirculating part of the "spent" hot air which has passed through the heating section. 1, record 5, English, - column%20drier

L'air entre par un côté de la colonne et sort par le côté opposé. L'air chaud traverse la partie supérieure de la colonne du séchoir et sèche le grain pendant sa descente.

The Livestock Feed Board of Canada is a Crown Corporation reporting to Parliament through the Minister of Agriculture. Established under the Livestock Feed Assistant Act in 1967, its objectives are to ensure : the availability offered grain in Eastern Canada and British Columbia; the availability of adequate storage space in Eastern Canada, and the reasonable stability and fair equalization of feed grain prices in Eastern Canada, British Columbia, the Yukon and Northwest Territories. The Board administers the Feed Freight Equalization Program under which a portion of the costs of transportation of feed grains is paid. The corporation consists of not less than three and not more than five members appointed by the Governor in Council, and is known as the Canadian Livestock Feed Board. 5, record 6, English, - Livestock%20Feed%20Bureau
