-4^ jfc Storage
Your grain may be in storage, but you can still have some
spoilage problems. In fact, grain stored in metal tanks can
spoil even though it was originally dried to the recommended
level.
That’s the word from Cecil Hammond, head of our Exten
sion Service engineering department in Athens.
As outside air temperatures go lower than temperatures
inside a storage bin, the bin walls and the outside grain - that
the nearest the walls - begin to cool, Hammond explains.
The cool air settles to the bottom of the tank, where it
begins to Warm and rise. Hammond says the whole process
starts warm moist air currents passing through the grain.
This creates a wet zone in the top of the tank and, as most
farmers khpw, molds and insects thrive in warm moist
areas.
The solution to this “moisture migration,” says Hammond,
is forcing low volumes of air through the tank to produce
uniform temperatures throughout.
This aeration process, according to the engineer, requires
from one-tenth to one-fourth cubic foot of air per minute per
bushel of grain.
H —I —h
REVERSE THE TREND
He says aeration fans should be installed to draw the cold
air down through the grain. This reverses the natural trend of
warm air to rise. Hammond explains that drawing the cold
air down discharges the warm moist air to the outside and
prevents condensation on the top surface of the grain.
Fan operation should begin as soon as grain is placed in
storage, and should be used whenever the warmest grain is 10
degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the outside air. Aim for a
grain temperature of 50 degrees F. But don’t operate the fans
when fog, rain and high humidity exist, Hammond warns.
The engineer adds that regular inspection of grain in tanks
is a must for successful management. Inspect the grain for
moisture, insects and spoilage at least every 30 days.
If you want further information on storing grain, you might
call or come by our office and ask for “Moisture Contraol in
Grain Tanks,” and “Aerating Grain in Storage.”

Orr.
As in past years, shorn
wool payments for 1980 will
be based on a percentage of

from sales. The percentage
will be the amount required
to raise the national average

1980 up to the $1.23 per pound
