Food grains which are to be stored for future use should be completely dried because of following reasons.
a) Presence of moisture may be favourable for the growth of microorganisms. 
b) Presence of moisture and favourable temperature enhance germination of stored seeds. This should be controlled by removing the moisture completely.

Hope it helps you:-)

Storing grains in a proper manner is the most important process after harvesting from the receptive plants. Spoilage in grains will be the result if the grains have not been treated in a proper way before storing.  

Food grains must have to be dried under sun light before storing in order to eliminate the moisture content in the grains. Moisture content of the grains will lead to spoilage of the grains by the growth of fungus and molds when they are stored.

Usually dried grains can be stored in gunny bags or metal containers with some dried Neem leaves in order to prevent the intervention of insects and moths.
