Storing Of Wet Grain Could Result In Bulk Freezing

Dec 05, 2019

With the wet harvest, extra attention will need to be paid to stored grain over the winter.

Angela Brackenreed is with the Canola Council of Canada.

"You want to be looking any spikes in temperature throughout the profile of the bin," she said. "If you have cables that helps with that monitoring, but certainly we don't want to just rely on this technology. Manually probing, pulling out loads out of the bin, that will help to brake up any hot spots that have started but also give you a closer look at it, a physical feel of the bin."

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
