Know Before You Store: 2019 Grain Harvest Challenges

/

GEAPS hosted a webinar October 31, 2019 featuring a number of AAGIWA members to discuss the 2019 fall harvest challenges.

Grain inspection experts warn that the 2019 fall harvest will bring quality challenges for many. Quality challenges may vary by region. Some may be seeing weathered grain while others may be seeing green or immature grains. Or, it could be frost damaged kernels, mold or fungus issues. Any of these create marketing issues for producers. For users, whether they are processors, feeders, or millers, it is a matter of understanding the quality they are receiving so it can be used for its best purpose.

Join our panel of experts to discuss the harvest challenges in some of the most impacted areas. They will provide their insights as well as answer your questions regarding harvest and quality.
