what remidial method does your mother apply to store grains for longer time
Answers
Answer:
Use of turmeric is a remedial method
Climb to the top and, without entering, see if there is a crust or any noticeable smell. An increase in surface moisture is often the first sign of problems. If there is anything wrong, start your aeration fans. A bin with an appropriately sized aeration fan will have enough airflow to dry a small layer of moisture on top of the bin.
When you check the grain, collect a sample to determine the moisture content, says Hellevang.
Answer:Follow these steps
Explanation:
1. PREPARE GRAIN BINS.
It may be too late to take this step for this grain storage season, but keep it in mind for the coming years.
2. STORE QUALITY GRAIN.
The condition of the corn as you harvest it is going to determine how well it’s going to store. “If you are thinking long-term storage, you are best to start out with mature, good-quality corn,” says Hellevang. “Some of the corn in the Northern region got frosted this year. That grain might be a little immature, be lower in test weight, and likely not be corn that would have as good a chance of making long-term storage as good-quality corn does.”
3. DRY TO THE RIGHT MOISTURE CONTENT.
The maximum allowable storage life chart on the next page shows how long corn at different moisture contents can be stored at different temperatures. For long-term storage, you will need to dry grain to a lower moisture level.
4. IMPROVE AERATION.
Properly distributing fines with a grain spreader or by practicing repetitive coring will help improve aeration. A grain spreader can be used on bins smaller than 48 feet to spread out fines.
“It’s important to have fines spread out in the bin, so they aren’t all in the center,” says Kerry Hartwig, Sukup. “Air is just like people and water; it takes the path of least resistance. If there are a lot of fines in the center, the air will go up the outside and you will get a lot of spoilage in the center.”
For larger grain bins, load directly into the bin. Then every 10 to 15 feet, pull out about 300 bushels of grain, creating an inverted cone. This process is known as repetitive coring and will help remove fines in the center.
After harvest is over, pull the bins with peaked grain down so the center is just below the corn at the wall, advises Woodruff. The grain will look somewhat like an “M” from the side. This helps bring air movement to the center and facilitates the removal of fines and foreign material from the center of the bin.
5. CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE.
“You should be putting grain into a storage system that has a good aeration system so you can control the grain temperature,”
6. KEEP COOL IN SUMMER.
There is some disagreement on the best storage temperature for grain over the summer. The old-school recommendation was to warm the grain to within 10° to 15° of the outside temperature. For the last 20 years, the recommendation has been to keep the grain cool, about 40°F., during spring and summer. Some are now suggesting warming the grain up to 50°F. for storage over summer
Hellevang recommends keeping the grain near 40°F. “Part of the reason for the lower temperature trend the last several years is that insect infestation and mold growth are going to flourish in the 70°F. to 90°F. temperature range,” he explains. “If you can keep the temperature below 50°F., the insects are dormant.”
7. CHECK GRAIN FREQUENTLY.
The long-recommended practice is to check your grain weekly during the summer. “The old story is if you had a 50,000-bushel bin with $200,000 in a 5-gallon bucket at the top, you would be out there three times a day checking it,” says Woodruff. “That’s how much money is in that bin, and some won’t check it once a month. You need to be checking it weekly.”
“The only real fix for out-of-condition issues that aren’t stopped by aeration is to unload the bin down to where the affected grain is and remove it,” says Woodruff. “This likely means the grain will have to be marketed early, and poor-grain quality may receive a dock at the elevator. Prevention is always the best answer.”
During fall, check grain once a week. In winter, you’ll get a bit of a break – you only need to check it every few weeks.
8. WATCH FOR INSECTS.
“In warmer temperatures, you can go from one or two insects to a major infestation in a period of two to three weeks,” says Hellevang. “If you aren’t checking every week or so, you aren’t able to take corrective action. You will end up reacting to major problems.”
