Temporary Farm Storage
![Page 7: Issues in Grain Storage: How to Avoid Surprises at DeliveryDepartment/deptdocs.nsf/all/crop13835/$FILE... · • Careful loading and regular repair needed ... • Canadian Grain Commission](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051205/5ae1b3427f8b9a1c248eb5d8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Silobags, grain bags, grain harvest bags• Used in Australia and South America,
Canada• Started in Argentina in 1995• Argentina in 2006 stored 20 million tonnes
Temporary Farm Storage

Silobags Costs
• Extracter + bagger = $80,000• Bag = $2/tonne ($0.06/bu)• Bags 60 m long, store about 200 t (7000
bu) wheat

Silobags
• Low cost storage• Lower transportation costs• Flexible storage• Segregation of crops• Place in well drained ground• Crest of hill• Away from woods (deer)• Deer, birds, rodents can puncture bag• Fences/netting to reduce animal damage• Few options for management once in bag

Silobags
• Manufacturers claim that bags are airtight• Australian study shows wide variation in
airtightness (Darby and Caddick 2007)• Only 2/13 bags of bags on farms airtight• Some bags initially very airtight, but after
several months some lost airtightness• Careful loading and regular repair needed
to maintain airtight seal

• Illegal to sell, transport grain that is infested.
• Insect-free grain helps guarantee high quality of Canadian grain.

High pressure CO2 fumigation
• High value products• Spices and pet food in Europe• Quick & expensive

Take Home Message: Fumigants
• Advantages– Quick– Kills internal stages– Minimal residual chemicals in grain
• Disadvantages– All fumigants very, very toxic– Need grain above 5oC– No residual effect– Some resistance to phosphine: Australia,
Brazil, India, USA

Overview
• Insects in Stored Grain• Prevention• Detection• Control
– Extreme temperatures– Fumigants– Contact insecticides– Biological control– Physical control

Treating Grain with Insecticides
• Malathion– Wide spread resistance
• Diatomaceous Earth– Grain must below 14% mc– Lowers test weight– Long lasting

Take Home Message: Residual Insecticides
• Advantages– Long term protection– Inexpensive
• Disadvantages– Consumers concerned about insecticides– Worker exposure to insecticides– Resistance to insecticides– Kills parasites

Impact machine
• Pin mills, Entoleters• Kill insects by impact• 2,500 g• Flour, semolina, grain• Can lower mill capacity• Cost of power• Higher speeds = higher mortality• Lower throughput = higher mortality
