If spoilage is detected and is minor, blending the affected grain might be viable. Otherwise, it's essential to remove spoiled grain quickly to prevent further issues during harvest unloading.
GSI’s GrainVue system, which utilizes digital cable technology, offers a technological advantage by providing constant updates on grain moisture and temperature, enabling automated control of drying and cooling processes. This system issues alerts for potential spoilage, making grain management more efficient and safer.
“Protecting quality grain means less dockage at the elevator and more money for your bushels,” Ellis explains.
To enhance grain storage efficiency, equip bins with spreaders to promote uniform grain distribution. Also, manage grain levels post-harvest to facilitate better airflow and remove fines, improving overall aeration.
