"Cold or cool grain has been safely stored through the summer for many years," notes Ken Hellevang, an Extension agricultural engineer. "Keeping the grain as cool as possible should be the goal of spring and summer grain storage."
The University of Illinois, the Grain Handling Safety Coalition (GHSC), and the Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (CS-CASH) are partnering to bring Grain Safety Training Courses to midwestern communities. Trainings will be conducted at no expense to the participants or the host.
