Join us for this webinar to discuss on-farm grain drying and storage.

Managing grain drying and storage on-farm is key to maintaining quality and value of your crops until the point of delivery off-farm.

This webinar will cover how to optimise your grain drying and storage for the season ahead. We will be joined by experts Philip Darke (Camgrain) and Martin Cobbald (Dealey Environmental Ltd).

During this webinar, we will discuss:

  • Best practice for drying systems, including on-floor, high temperature grain driers and bulk drying
  • Principles of aeration, drying and cooling
  • Managing bulks
  • Optimising grain storage
  • Key pests, mites and moths that could pose a problem
  • How best to prepare your store before harvest
  • Considerations for monitoring your store during storage to minimise pest risk
