RALEIGH, N.C. (RFD NEWS) — As wheat harvest approaches with shifting crop quality concerns, some farmers are planning to store grain long-term in hopes of capturing better prices later on, but without proper bin preparation, grain quality can quickly decline.
John Mays with Central Life Sciences joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to share guidance on preparing for storage and protecting grain quality.
In his interview with RFD News, Mays discussed why it is critical for growers to think about pest management before grain ever goes into the bin and outlined key steps to properly clean and prepare storage bins ahead of load-in. He also explained how pests can impact grain quality in storage and what that could mean for a farmer’s bottom line.
In addition, Mays addressed how proper bin preparation and pest control can give growers more flexibility when marketing their grain and where they can go to learn more.
Hughes shares how he’s preparing for the competition, his partnership with Bass Fishing Hall of Famer Mark Davis, and his journey from cattle ranching to professional bass fishing.
