Grain Management Practice

If long term grain storage is your goal, healthy and clean grain should be stored in bins with natural air drying and aeration capability. The bins should be cored and leveled to remove broken kernels and fines that have collected at the core during filling in order to provide a uniform airflow rate. Peaked grain with broken kernels and fines may reduce/restrict the airflow through the central core causing non-uniformity in grain moisture and temperature. These temperature and moisture gradients may result in moisture migration and condensation leading to the hotspot development and grain spoilage.
