  1. Temporary Grain Storage Modified by the GA Agriculture Education Curriculum Office July 2002

  2. Minimize Need to Add Dry Grain Storage • Livestock feeders: consider silage, ground ear corn, or high-moisture corn • Consider selling standing crop to neighboring livestock feeders • Harvest ear corn • Rent space at elevator • Rent space from neighbor

  3. Factors to Consider for Grain Storage Facilities • Protection from precipitation & soil moisture • Pressure exerted by dry grain • Aeration • Grain handling • Protection from birds and rodents • Economics

  4. Costs for Storing Grain • Ownership costs for facilities & equipment • Interest on value of grain • Extra shrink & drying costs • Dry matter losses during handling & storage • Electricity • Labor

  5. Possible Temporary Storage Facilities • Flat storage buildings • Upright or tower silos • Remodeled corn cribs • Commercial plastic bins • Outdoor piles

  6. Flat Storage

  7. Flat Storage • Remove residues from previous use • Reinforce or don’t pile against walls • Don’t pile grain over lower truss chord • Estimate capacity • Need good drainage, sound roof, vapor barrier in floor

  8. Flat Storage continued • Consider grain handling • Can use augers for filling • Can use skid loaders, vacuum-type conveyors, or augers for unloading • Install aeration • Keep duct length less than 100 ft. • Match duct layout to pile shape • Watch for condensation under roof

  9. Example of Duct Layout in Flat Storage From MWPS-29, Dry Grain Aeration Systems Design Handbook

  10. Example of Wall Reinforcement Figure from NDSU AE-84, Temporary Grain Storage

  11. Tower Silos • Check condition and spacing of steel hoops • This is critical; some silos have failed • Patch cracks and leaks in walls & roof • More important for longer-term storage • Install simple aeration duct at bottom, vent at top

  12. Tower Silos continued • Silos are hard to fill • Don’t run cash grain through silage blower • Could use auger through side door • Pneumatic conveyor might be best choice • Unload silos from center to avoid uneven wall pressures

  13. Example of Converted Silo

  14. Unloading Silos from Side Can Lead to Tipping

  15. Outdoor Piles

  16. Outdoor Piles • Use as a last resort • Protect bottom grain from soil, gravel, and moisture • Manage fines • Aerate • Cover • Move as soon as possible

  17. Aerate Outdoor Piles

  18. Managing Temporary Storage • Fill last when weather is cooler • Make sure grain is dry enough • Do not try to dry grain in temp. storage • Consider cleaning grain before storing it • Aerate • Check frequently • Move as soon as possible

  19. Handle Grain Safely • Watch for overhead powerlines when moving equipment • Stay away from PTO shafts and auger intakes • Set up equipment to minimize need to back vehicles into place • Keep kids away from grain facilities

  20. Handle Grain Safely continued • Wear respirators designed for toxic dusts when working around moldy grain • Be aware of suffocation hazards when working around caked or bridged moldy grain

  21. Grain Suffocation Hazard: Breaking Through Crust

  22. Grain Suffocation Hazard:Collapsing Grain Pile
