Agricultural specialists are urging farmers to be more vigilant about monitoring stored grain. Extended storage periods increase risks that require more than occasional surface checks to prevent problems.
An agricultural expert is calling on farmers to take more comprehensive steps to safeguard their stored grain supplies. According to John Mays from Central Life Sciences, many producers make the mistake of inadequate monitoring once their crops are placed in storage bins.
“They think that a probe every once in a while in the top of the bin, if it comes back clean everything is great,” Mays explained, highlighting a common oversight in grain management practices.
The specialist emphasizes that as storage duration increases, so do the potential hazards facing stored crops, making thorough and regular inspections essential for protecting valuable harvests from deterioration and loss.
