It’s been a challenging harvest with the rain causing some downgrading factors for farmers.

Keeping the quality of the grain we have in storage is key.

Joy Agnew, project manager of agricultural research services with the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI), says you want to get the moisture content down to the right level.

She notes the target for cereal crops is 14 per cent, while oilseeds should be down to nine or ten per cent moisture content.

Running grain dryers or aeration fans can help reduce the moisture from the crop.
