How to Reduce Storage Losses and Improve Grain Quality

Store grains for seed purpose and for home consumption without losing their quality.

Store only the grains that are completely dried and free of pests, unfilled grains and weed seeds.

Storage materials (containers) must be clean and air-tight.

Fill the grains completly without leaving space for air and  seal properly the containers , not to increase moisture content.

For home consumption, moisture content should be 14% and can be stored for some months. 

For seed purpose, moisture should be 12% and able to keep for one year.
