With harvest fast approaching, now is the time to check your store is prepared before the first trailer rolls in.
From airflow and ventilation to pest control and equipment checks, a well prepared store can help protect grain quality, improve cooling efficiency and reduce avoidable problems once the pressure is on.
A few simple checks now can make a big difference once the store starts filling:
Inspect guttering, walls, and roofs for signs of water ingress and carry out any repairs.
Make sure the store is secured against birds and rodents.
Confirm there's enough space above the grain for airflow.
Both the store and equipment thoroughly.
Test fans, pedestals, and control systems.
Place insect traps and rodent bait boxes around the store.
