Do you know how to recover from a natural disaster near your facility and protect the value of your stored grain? How can you best track your inventory, monitor shipping and prevent theft? What are the best strategies to prevent contamination by mycotoxins?

Those are just a few of the topics that will be addressed when the NGFA and Grain Elevator and Processing Society host this summer’s premier industry professional-development event -- the Grain Quality Management Seminar on July 28-29 in St. Louis.

Major sessions will be featured on: 1) how to manage grain contamination and product-safety challenges posed by mycotoxins and other contaminants; 2) best practices for grain handling and storage, such as shrink, binning/blending practices, maintaining quality for grain in emergency (ground piles) or temporary storage; 3) ways to protect against theft and deceptive practices; 4) good sampling, inspection, receiving, shipping and inventory-management practices; 5) addressing grain-quality challenges posed by natural disasters, such as flood-damaged grain; and 6) innovative equipment, processes or services that can assist in managing grain quality.

Grain-quality management is important to the successful operation and profitability of the grain, feed and processing industry. From elevator to consumer, managing the quality of stored grain affects the selling price, operating costs, company reputation and more. You’ll get information you can take back to your job and directly apply to day-to-day operations at your facility to increase profits.
