Warning on grain bin storage and pest control measures
Weather this November aids farming but harms grain storage. Inspect bins for heating and bugs as moisture shifts with temperature changes. Sampling from top center and auger hole helps detect insects like rusty grain beetles and red flour beetles. Use cold air fumigation or low temperatures to kill pests, with diatomaceous earth and grain vacuums as alternatives. Contact Luanne Berjian, agriculture representative, for guidance.
