Storing Grain Safely for Western Canadian Farms
Farmers must store grain through fall and winter facing moisture and insect risks. Ensure roofs are repaired, floors are wooden if possible, and granaries are cleaned before filling. Sweep with damp sawdust, apply hydrated lime, and treat interior walls. Use ventilation without moisture buildup and keep open piles on well drained ground with straw underneath.
