| dc.description | This focuses itself on grain moisture and how to deal with such. Handling of high moisture grain was a problem of considerable importance in Canada and North Dakota in 1950-51, and caused much concern to farmers, grain buyers, millers, etc. High moisture content markedly increases the hazards of storage because the activity of micro-organisms, danger of heating, and consequent spoilage are greatly augmented. The excess moisture must be removed before milling, usually by drying with heat to a moisture content in the neighborhood of 13.5 %. The regulation of drying grains is outlined. | |
