Episode Synopsis

 As corn and soybean harvest progresses in the USA (almost all of the wheat crop has already been harvested), we have to consider grain quality and preservation.  Drying and aeration is important due to the potential of mold and insect infestation.  This episode is part 2 of a mini-series on preservation.  Our guest today is Dr. Graham Thorpe.  He has worked for many years to improve moisture control of grain in storage.  In fact, he even contributed a chapter to my recent book.  If you are interested, his chapter on alternative and emerging storage technologies can be found here. More about Graham and is work can be found at his faculty website at Victoria University and at the Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities. He can be contacted at [email protected].  Thank you, Graham, for a great conversation about grain storage! Our music is Inspiring Cinematic Asia by Lexin Music, which is available at Pixabay.
