Cool Stored Grain Now
In the past couple of weeks a lot of corn and soybeans went into storage with temperatures in the 60s. With grain this warm, moisture migration within the grain mass and spoilage can occur very quickly, even with fairly dry grain.
With average daily temperatures soon in the low to mid 40s, newly stored grain should be cooled down as soon as possible.
