As crop yield can vary from one season to another, food grains need to be stored for use in times of shortage. Usually, buffer (extra) stocks are maintained so that supply of grains is ample even if crop fails or yields lesser amount of grains in a particular season.
After crops such as wheat or rice are harvested, the grains obtained usually have high moisture content and need to be dried before they can be packed. Eventually, these grains are packed in gunny or jute bags and stored in silos, godowns, or grainries. Stored grains need to be inspected regularly for pests and microbes.
