The quality of the grain is highly determined by the weather during the growing season, but also by crop rotation and growing conditions. Regardless of whether the quality is good or less good, it is important to maintain the quality obtained after harvest, so that the crop is in as good a condition as possible when it is delivered. This is both for the sake of food safety, but also to meet the quality requirements for the crop and achieve as good a settlement price as possible.<\/p>\n

The grain store<\/h2>\n

The grain storage must be suitable for storing food. This means, among other things, that there must be a solid bottom and there must be good opportunities for cleaning.<\/p>\n

Cleaning the grain storage<\/h2>\n

A thorough cleaning of the grain storage is important to maintain the quality of the grain. Remains of old grain in the grain store form a breeding ground for the transmission of pests such as grain beetles and grain mites to the new grain. Certain stock fungi and toxins can also overwinter in old grain and, in worst case, ruin the new harvest. It is also important that pebbles and other foreign bodies are removed from the warehouse, as they can cause tooth damage if they occur in the flour we buy in the supermarket. The warehouse must also be free of residues of GMO products as well as of foreign odors (diesel oil, fishmeal, etc.), as the odor can otherwise be transferred to the flour.<\/p>\n
