Get the best from your grain harvest
The civil unrest in the Middle East and its impact on imports, combined with surging oil prices, has hit grain prices hard. With world stocks relatively low, commentators are saying there will be no room from any major production shortfall in this year’s harvest.
This means that grain farmers need to ensure more than ever that their harvest gives them the best yields in 2011. Looking after your grain properly is a fundamental and vital part of ensuring your harvest works for you. It’s important to remember that to be stored properly to ensure quality, grain must be:
- Stored dry
- Regularly aerated
- Kept at a low, maintained temperature
Dry cooled grain can be kept for many months, if you have the right purpose-built grain store that can be easily and well-managed.
This is why so many grain farmers trust us at Graham Heath Construction. We have the in-depth knowledge of the unique demands of grain storage. We use the latest steel-framed building techniques and materials to ensure your new steel-framed grain store meets all these important factors, along with unique solutions to meet your exact needs – whether you want the capability for a big intake of grain or the need for speedy turnarounds as your grain is harvested and delivered into storage.
