To help avoid crusted grain, plugged augers, or improper grain flow, consider going through this checklist before you add grain to a bin!

1. Inspect augers, fans, and other bin components before harvest. Ensure the floor and walls are cleaned off, to prevent mold or insects.

2. Control grain pest. Consider spraying or dusting a grain insecticide before you add grain. Some products that can be used are Insecto, Tempo, or Diacon IGR.

3. Double check grain moisture percentage before storing. Whether you store directly in a bin or run grain through a dryer, ensure corn is 13.5% and soybeans are 12.5% for longer storage.

4. Ensure proper aeration. Know when and why to turn your bin fans on to ensure grain cools down properly to prevent spoilage.

5. Core the bin. After you fill a bin, consider coring the center to remove poor quality grain and improve airflow.

Safety First. Avoid the worst.
