$\fbox\purple{αɴѕωєя❀✿°᭄}$

If freshly harvested grains are stored without drying they may spoil or get attacked by microorganisms, losing their germination capacity. Hence, before storing them the grains are properly dried in the sun to reduce moisture in them. This prevents the attack by insects, pests, bacteria, and fungi.

Farmers store grains in silos (metallic bins) or granaries (jute bags) in large scale production.
