Soybeans Store Best at Lower Temperatures
Extension experts advise storing soybeans at very low moisture content and as low a temperature as possible to preserve germination capacity. Artificial drying may be needed to reduce moisture before storage. High moisture and heat cause rapid moisture uptake and damage, so keep beans dry and in tight bins away from rain and snow.
