Many times farmers think that once the wheat crop is harvested the pressure is off and it is time to relax. Â A lot of things can go wrong inside the bin. Â One of the troubles many people have is that they cannot see into the bin. Â Ignoring the grain temperature, moisture and some other things can cost you dearly. Â Storing your wheat properly is imperative to making sure you have financial success.
There is nothing worse than sticking an auger into a bin in April and finding out that the bin has heated and the contents are worthless. Â As the size of bins increases, maintaining an ideal storage environment is critical. Â Today it is not uncommon to find in floor air, remote monitoring, automatic alarm systems and intensive reporting tools as options when you install a new bin on the farm.
I talked to Helmut Spieser from OMFRA about some of the things farmers need to consider when storing wheat in a bin for the winter.
