How does aeration affect grain pests?
Grain that is binned warm or tough is especially prone to stored grain pest problems. Aeration to cool the grain and remove some moisture is not only good for grain conditioning, but will also reduce the potential for insect problems. Grain that is binned under less than ideal conditions should be monitored regularly during fall and winter for signs of insect infestations.
