Is Grain in Bins Going Out of Condition?

Last fall's harvest produced grain with higher moisture contents than normal due to late crop maturity and less in-field drying in 2019, reports KMA Land.

For grain stored wetter than recommended through the winter months (above 15% for corn and 13% for soybeans), it is especially vital to monitor grain to get ahead of situations that could cause a loss in condition.

Maintaining grain temperatures below 35-40 degrees is the best defense against spoilage. To do so, it is necessary to aerate to cool grain in the fall after filling the bin, plus aerate as often as needed throughout the winter to keep grain cool.
