Handling and Storage of Maize, Grain Sorghum, Sun Flower and Soya Beans.
A silo (from the Greek σιρός – siros, “pit for holding grain”) is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain.
Grain must be kept away from moisture to preserve it in good condition and prevent mold growth. Newly harvested grain brought into a granary tends to contain excess moisture, which encourages mold growth leading to fermentation and heating, both of which are undesirable and affect quality. Fermentation generally spoils grain. It’s circulated through external grain drying equipment before we store grain in our silo.
