Crack the Bags

[sumdumguy]

There’s a lot of damp/wet grain in bags this year. Spoke to a farmer who assumes it is still ok. Just wondering if anyone has cracked open and checked.

Well a few neighbors (and myself) got some in the bin surprises so far. Heated canola, some wheat. Cant imagine whats in all those bags.

I know of someone that has a bin of heated canola which is no longer saleable. He wasn’t checking it enough. I wouldn’t assume grain in bags will be ok,with canola being a priority! My neighbour bags canola, wheat and barley but haven’t heard about theirs.

You won’t hear a thing either. Bags are little miracles. You can put anything in them and it always comes out just grand!

Thats enough sarcasm for a Sunday morning.

Cracking those bags....

What do you do with it if you don't have anywhere to put it? Turing grain in a bag means putting it back in a new bag.

Many BTOs use them on their rented land, they have their place.
Would you pay extra rent if the landlord had bins thrown into the deal?

I know I would, but I’m not a BTO.

The gal I deal with at the elevator said it is almost like an epidemic with the amount of grain heating....figures some guys would have been better off combining in the spring.

This is not first hand imfo but about a month ago someone tweeted about heated wheat in a bag. He said the wheat was 23% and went in the bag cold. He concentrated on drying canola and thought the wheat would keep in a bag. When he got to the bag he was surprised it was hot.

Lifting canola right now, Friday morning the ground was steaming. Not that it ever freezes just looks scary as hell. 11-12.5 moisture. Bags got laid down Oct 6.

At least grain in aeration, with turning will keep until you can mix it off. At 20 below, should be ok?
