Published: Nov. 21, 2023, 10 p.m.

b'From cone and flat-bottomed silos, to sheds, bunkers, bags, and pits, grain storage options today are seemingly endless. It is not always the case that the cheapest option will be the most cost effective over time. Nor will the most expensive always be the most appropriate for your needs. On top of this, there is the need to keep your grain free from moisture, condensation, mould, and insects, which an aeration system can do by maintaining lower temperatures and consistent conditions. So, when choosing which grain storage option to invest in, where do we begin? We caught up with Ben White and Chris Warrick from the GRDC Grain Storage Extension Project to find out the starting points around grain storage options, along with the economics of aeration.\\nContact:\\xa0\\nBen White\\nGRDC Grain Storage Extension Team\\nben@storedgrain.com.au\\xa0\\nChris Warrick\\nNational Coordinator - GRDC Grain Storage Extension Team\\ninfo@storedgrain.com.au\\nMore information:\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nGRDC Stored Grain webpage\\nStored Grain homepage \\nGrain Storage Extension Team hotline - 1800 WEEVIL (1800 933 845).\\xa0\\nProject Code:\\xa0PRB2011-001SAX\\nRead the podcast transcript.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
