This Farmnote is one of a series on the management of grain stored on farms.
Grain stored on farms for seed or livestock feed is an important investment.
Protecting the grain from insect attack can be regarded as an exercise in income protection. Even light infestations of weevils can drastically reduce the germination of grain. Weevils contaminate and eat food intended for your livestock. Grain can lose a lot of weight through a heavy infestation. Protecting the grain from moisture preserves the value of the grain.
