Farmers are having a tough time getting the rest of the harvest in the bin.
Rain and snow in many areas continue to delay the process.
Charlie Kiefer is the Grains Manager at Bunge’s Dixon Facility.
He says once farmers are back in the field, they’ll be dealing with tough grain coming off so proper management and getting it to dry is going to be key.
"Canola that's been for two or three weeks, go in pull some loads out of it, check your temperatures, recheck your qualities just to make sure they stay good. Moisture, in general, will migrate up the bin so the top of your bin will become a little bit more moist, you want to make sure cap over or crust over
He notes farmers will want to make sure the crop maintains the condition in the bin, adding the ideal moisture level for canola is right around 8 to 8 1/2%.
