Some corn is deteriorating while in storage Spying activity around the farms in Bruce County is now underway. Producers arepicking up where they left off last fall in an effort to get back to normal. As spring work unfolds, there could be a tendency to overlook the grain. in storage. We have learned of some situations that grain has been sold, but when they opened the bin, 'seemingly good quality corn has deteriorated into an un- saleable product. Helmut Spieser, OMAF Ridgetown, remiilds us that"during the 1992 growing season, conditions were such that much of the corn did not reach physiological maturity. Because of this; the structural in- tegrity of the kernels is poorer than normal which resulted in a lot -of damage at harvest and during handling. This large amount of fines can cause problems in stored corn if they go out of condition. At harvest there were high and low moisture kernels on the same cob. Some of the high moisture kernels were not completely dry when they FBruce County OMAF sommemer ARM REPORT ®a came out of the drier. Fines, coupled with uneven moisture levels, can result in quality problems in stored corn. Close monitoring of your bins of corn is extremely crucial this year. Do not assume that because you put com into the bin in good condition tat it will stay that way. Check the corn in the bins at least every week. For larger diameter bins, those 27 to 30 feet in diameter, you might want to check them more fre- quently. Mentally divide these large bins into quadrants and monitor each of these individually. Use as many management tools to monitor and check the corn as you have available. These include: temperature probes, moisture testers, visual evaluation, manometers for measuring static pressure, stirrers and sense of smell. 0 Ministry of � the Attorney You can IcWe,,a l ��General1V 1.11 J9n - : e ee • 1 • • J n Kanid a • rui OFA holds midterm election Bill Weaver of Kent County was elected to the position of first vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA).
