2.Ben And Gaws - Numerous factors must be addressed while maintaining grain storage for the long term. The main thing you consider is that, Moisture is the most difficult problem with long-term storage. How can you avoid your grain from rotting due to excessive moisture? And how can a tiny bit of moisture affect your harvest? Hard grains, such as maize, wheat, and millet, may be kept for years if properly prepared. Here are a few tips to ensure effective, long-term storage with no problems or unpleasant surprises.
3. Prepare grain bins: The first step in assuring quality grain is to ensure that your storage facilities are ready to receive the grain. Clean up your bins and if you want to get rid of any insects that it may have in the grain bin. Or for any insects discovered in aeration ducts, beneath perforated floors, or within the grain bins itself, proper fumigation and pesticide treatments are necessary. You may also use bin sprays and grain protectants to assist limit the chance of bug infestations causing problems. This is especially crucial if you want to store grain throughout the summer, when insects are more prone to create issues.
4. Store quality grains: You'll recognise grain when you see it, how it is grain. Any grain with a lot of particles or broken kernels, it will matter a great deal when you remove these grains from good grains. Avoid storing grain in long-term storage if it is unlikely to succeed. Ben & Gaws carefully store the grains in the right conditions. Ben and Gaws store their grains in silos to extend grain storage life and preserve production. If any farmers are interested in storing their grains in Silos then you can contact Ben & Gaws.
5. Dry Grain to the Proper Moisture Content: It's crucial to make sure your grains are thoroughly dried before keeping them for a long time whether you buy them from the store, so that's why you need to check them properly. You should do weight tests to check the moisture level of your grains and cross-reference the levels with a grain moisture chart to make sure you're at the correct level for the type of grain and type of storage you intend to use.
6.Don’t Mix Your New Grain with Old: The grain that is freshly harvested will always be the best quality. There is one way that storage will make it better, in fact it can actually degrade the quality more, when you mix new and old grains together. It is not advised as the old grains could contaminate any stored products, along with a few other storage issues. Before storing the new grain, you should clean the room or storage bin. This will make your grains safe.
7.Control Your Grain’s Temperature: Throughout the storage time, keep an eye on your grain. A tiny amount of hot or stale grain can soon expand out of control. Temperature monitoring devices in conjunction with aeration are the best approach to monitor your grain. Portable grain temperature monitoring is a common and cost-effective option. Remote grain monitoring allows for simple, round-the-clock monitoring. According to Ben and Gaws A steel silo will provide improved aeration for grain storage. Steel silos are also less dependent on outside temperatures to maintain proper grain temperatures, because reduced grain depth results in less heat of compression in the aeration system, requiring lower outside temperatures.
8. Keep Grain Cool in Summer: Old school rules were to keep grain at 10°-15° warmer than outdoor temperature. Nowadays, keeping grain at 40° in the spring and summer is recommended as this will deter insects and also deter mold. For areas with cooler climates, an internal cereal temperature of 50° is best Check Your Grain Continuously: Ben & Gaws advises that you inspect your grain at least once every week in the summer and once every few weeks in the winter for quality, temperature, and, of course, moisturebecause it will affect your grains badly.
