How cold is enough?
Following up on Meaghan’s blog post on October 5 about sap beetles in corn grain, I received a few more questions about infested bins. There are MANY insects that cause losses in stored grain and food processing facilities. Complete eradication is difficult to achieve, and therefore defining acceptable limits is a more practical way to manage pests after harvest. Developing post-harvest plans can greatly improve the effectiveness and profitability for farmers and maintain a safe food supply.
