NDSU Extension Agricultural Engineer Ken Hellevang says it’s important to pay attention to moisture levels of stored grain as temperatures rise. Allowable storage time started to accumulate last fall just after harvest. Hellevang says grain quality will start to decline as that time runs out. Higher temperatures and higher moisture often mean a shorter time grains can be stored. “It may not mean that we have a totally spoiled bin of grain, but there will be some mold growth and some deterioration that starts on the day we harvest it.” Click here to listen to the full interview with Ken Hellevang.
