It’s often said stored grain is a farmer’s most valuable asset, but if not stored correctly, that grain can depreciate quite quickly. SDSU Extension Agronomy Field Specialist Sara Bauder says its important growers are taking every step to protect and preserve grain quality on farm.
“Maintaining grain quality is of great value to a grower, and spending adequate time cleaning and preparing bins, having the proper size aeration system and checking grain regularly are all part of maintaining high quality stored grain,” says Bauder.
SDSU Extension will kick off its virtual Crop Hour webinar series Jan. 5 with the first week’s presentations dedicated to managing stored grain. Attendees will have the opportunity to tune in each day from 10 to 11 a.m. CST to hear from local and regional experts concerning pertinent issues surrounding stored grains that are crucial to farm safety and profitability.
