Grain Storage
IMPORTANT:
Conditions and requirements may vary from area to area. Contact the local agriculture
extension office or state agriculture university for more exact guidelines.
Average grain temperature should be above 35°F in the winter and below 65°F in the summer. Always
try to keep the grain within 10°F-15°F of the average monthly outside temperature. This means grain
may need to be aerated on warm days during the winter to stay above 35°F when freezing temperatures
are predominate. During the summer it may be necessary to aerate the grain on cool nights, so the 65°F
temperature is not exceeded during the hot days of summer.
If the grain is to be stored more than one (1) year, it has to be recooled the following fall and winter,
repeating the process as long as the grain is in storage.
Frequent and regular inspection (at least
weekly during fall and spring) is the best prevention against grain spoilage.

*Allowable holding time for field-shelled corn at various grain temperatures and moisture.
Safe moisture for normal winter storage of shelled corn is about 15%. Grain to be stored through the
summer or long term, needs to be 1 to 3 points dryer.
