Question

Grain stored in dry air​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Grain to be stored in bins or sacks may have too high a temperature or too high a moisture content, or both. If ambient temperatures are low, then air alone may cool the stored grain enough to prevent mould and insect damage while the moisture content is being slowly reduced to a safe level

Answer 2

The temperature or moisture content of grain to be kept in bins or sacks may be too high, or both. If the ambient temperature is low, air alone may be sufficient to keep the stored grain cold enough to avoid mould and insect damage while the moisture content is gradually lowered to a safe level.

While storing grain in poly bags is an excellent alternative, it does not protect moist grain from insect infestations or mould growth. Dry and cold grain should be packed in bags. Placing grain in bags at optimum storage moisture levels based on grain and external temperatures is one recommendation.
