Description: Moisture plays an important role in the safe storage of grain. If the moisture content is maintained at a sufficiently low level, grain can be stored for many years with little deterioration. Low moisture levels limit development of harmful organisms, namely fungi, bacteria, mites and insects, that attack stored grain. Changes in moisture content in stored grain may result from entrance of rain or snow, absorption of moisture from the air, redistribution or translocation of moisture due to changes in grain temperature or from heavy insect infestation. Rain from a roof leak and snow blown through ventilators may enter bulk stored dry grain and cause damp grain pockets. Grain will absorb or give up moisture until its moisture content is in equilibrium with the relative humidity of the surrounding atmosphere (7). Moisture is absorbed from the air if the equilibrium moisture con tent of the grain is below that of the atmosphere drying occurs if the re verse is true.
