Grain storage and insect control
Grain insects are present on most farms in harvesting machinery, stockfeed, grain spills, and old seed. Some insects fly between farms and between storages, and others walk or are carried in handling equipment. Unless insect control measures are applied, grain quality and value is likely to be reduced.
There are no short cuts for storing grain safely. If insects are detected as grain is outloaded for sale, treatment is likely to delay the delivery by two to four weeks. Only store grain if you have planned for insect control and have the necessary equipment to do it properly.
