Grain needs to be stored under conditions that will maintain or even enhance the quality of the grain as it was at harvest. Insects and moisture must be controlled to ensure quality, and methods to achieve this such as the use of insecticides, fumigants and modified atmospheres are presented. Ways to dry grain and maintain an appropriate moisture level are also discussed. Different cereals may require specific conditions that maintain the quality needed by the next-stage user, particularly for barley, rice and wheat. During transport, it must be possible to trace shipments, so that segregation can be maintained from other batches with potentially incompatible quality. |
