Don Johnson, County Agricultural Agent, advises actions to prevent insect damage: sell old grain not kept for winter, store old grain separately in a granary, avoid stacking new grain on old, thoroughly house clean the granary, and treat walls and floors with 50% wettable DDT.
The guide outlines three spraying methods using DDT mixed with water. Method one uses one pound per five gallons with a broom and constant stirring. Method two uses 10 ounces per three gallons with a knapsack sprayer and continuous shaking. Method three uses eight pounds per 100 gallons with a power sprayer, then leave granary undisturbed for two weeks and sweep walls and floors to remove loose DDT and dead insects.
Farmers warned that combining wheat with moisture above 14 percent leads to financial loss. The guidance advises threshing until grain dent is barely visible, then testing moisture at a local elevator to confirm 14 percent or less before storage or sale.
