IOWA

Webinar Covers Spring Management of Stored Grain

February 11, 2010 - Charles Hurburgh, Iowa State Ag and Biosystems Engineering, makes recommendations for managing the 2009 grain in a webinar, which can now be viewed at http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/p72291359/,  

In a presentation to the  Southeast Iowa Research Farm current grain storage and management issues were discussed. 

"This has been an extremely difficult year for grain storage. Corn was harvested wet and not all was dried because of dryer capacity shortages, said Hurburgh. " The cold growing season decreased test weights, which naturally reduced storage life."

The webinar covers moisture migration, what to look and smell for when checking stored grain, and how to correct storage problems. These are things that need to be done now in order to handle problem situations that are growing in bins across Iowa. The webinar is recorded so viewers cannot submit questions.
