Cool stored grain before winter
NEWARK, Del. - With
another corn record yield
and a projected record
soybean harvest in
Delaware again this year, a
lot of gram will be gomg into
storage. And as farmers
continue to increase their on
farm storage capabilities,
there is concern about how
well this grain holds up in
storage.
' According to University of
Delaware extension
agricultural engineer Tpm
Williams, grain that is dried
to a safe moisture level and
relatively clean before being
placed in storage and that
has proper aeration in
storage will keep safely for
extended periods of time
with proper management.
Corn that is to be sold by
spring should be dried to 14.5
percent before gomg into the
bin. Corn that will be held
into the summer or longer
should be dried to 13 percent
moisture. Small grains also
should not be stored above 13
percent moisture.
Arnold was presented with a
silver bowl by the Bucks
County 4-H Council. Arnold

classes.

Since soybeans contain oil,
they have to be stored at
lower moisture-14 percent
or below for short-term
storage and 11 percent for
storage into summer.
After gram is placed in
storage, it should be kept
cool with aeration. Aeration
is a process of keeping dry
grain at nearly the same
temperature as the outside
air to prevent moisture
migration in the bin. During
aeration a small amount of
air-one-tenth to one-fifth
cfm (cubic feet per minute)
per bushel - is continuously
pulled down through the
grain and exhausted at the
bottom of the storage bin to
equalize temperatures m the
grain mass.
Proper aeration reduces
the nsk of stored grain going
out of condition from
moisture migration, mold
growth, and insect in
festation. Aeration,
however, will not protect
grain that is not dried to a

safe level before being
stored, cautions Williams.
Dried grain placed in
storage in the fall should be
cooled down to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit by winter. Begin
cooling warm grain as soon
as it goes into storage. Run
the aeration fans con
tinuously until the grain
temperature is down to 70
degrees F. in September.
The grain temperature can
be checked by holding a
thermometer in the exhaust
air stream. This is also a
good place to smell the grain
condition. Musty odors in
dicate spoilage.
An air flow of 1/10 cfm per
bushel will take about a
week of continuous running
to change the grain tem
perature. One cfm per
bushel will take 15 hours of
continuous running to
change the gram tem
perature.

Continue to cool the grain
into winter. Cool to 60
degrees F. by the end of
October, 50 degrees F. by the
end of November, and 40
degrees F. by the end of
December. Then maintain
the 40 degree F. temperature
through March. Do not
operate fans for extended
periods when the outside
temperature is below 30
degrees F. or the grain may
freeze. Frozen grain can
cause problems in the
spring.
After the grain is cooled
down to the recommended
average monthly tem
perature, check its condition
once a week by running the
fans for about 20 minutes.
This permits you to check
the temperature, smell for
signs of spoilage, and bring
fresh air into the bin. It is
best to do this when the
relative humidity is below 75
percent.
