Cool Down Grain To Avoid Spoilage

 Cool Down Grain To Avoid Spoilage
 
While this year's crop may be coming off the field dry, it'll still be important to cool it down.
 
That from Dr. Joy Agnew, Program Manager of Agricultural Research Services with the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI).
 
She said the goal is to cool the grain down to 15 degrees Celsius.
 
"Depending on the grain type, the target moisture for safe storage is different. But as long as it's dry, for whatever grain that is, 15 degrees Celsius or lower is the target temperature."

Ag commodity marketing is too complex, largely misunderstood, and the industry is full of products and services you probably don’t even need to profitably market your grain.

Mr. Vaclavik, a former grain trader turned commodity marketing commentator, says there are only three things a farmer needs to be profitable. Conversely, there are nine things almost no farmer EVER needs to use, including options trading, long range weather prognosticators, and exotic grain marketing contracts. Joe keeps it simple. And blunt. If you’re thin-skinned, don’t tune into this episode. For the rest of you in Ag, enjoy!
