One of the often-overlooked aspects of grain storage is the amount of lost grain and grain quality loss due to insect damage. John Mays is the senior director for grain and specialty ag at Central Life Sciences and he says more growers need to be aware of grain bugs eating into their profits.
Mays says that whether you are storing grain for short term or long-term storage, a stored grain protectant is a must for growers.
A grain protectant gives farmers the ability to have options when marketing grain says Mays.
He says that even with the telltale signs of bugs in grain storage, growers often overlook the problem until it’s too late.
Mays offers suggestions for products growers can use to protect their grain, with some products tailored to where the grain is stored.
