The true statement about the storage of produced grains is
ii. Farmers store grains in jute bags or metallic bins.
Harvested grains have a high moisture content that can get easily infected in a short time. Therefore, grains after harvest should be dried in sunlight to decrease the moisture.
There are various methods to store grains for future use. However, it is the best method to store grains in jute bags or metallic bins.
The lid of bins or the bags should be airtight in order to keep them safe for a long time whereas one should keep an eye on the grains to check for the insect pests at least once a month or once a week depending upon the season.
Moreover, this method also prevents the grains from getting intoxicated by harmful chemicals used to protect from pests or other vertebrate pests too.
