News
Interactive
Webinar
to Focus on Grain Storage and Marketing Issues
Posted 1 March
2010
The Southeast Iowa Ag Research Association annual meeting will include
an interactive webinar conducted by the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative
titled, Grain Storage and Marketing Issues: 2009 Crop Quality and New
GMOs.
This interactive webinar, led by Charles Hurburgh, Iowa State
University Extension agricultural engineer, will cover the difficult
grain storage situation that was created by 2009 corn crop quality. It
will address what grain managers should be doing now as Iowa heads into
warmer weather, and the future prospects for corn storage challenges,
as corn production continues to rapidly increase.
Participants will be able to send written questions during the webinar
from their computer terminals. Southeast Iowa meeting attendees will
participate from the meeting site at the ISU Extension Washington
County office in Washington. Anyone else may enter the webinar through
the link http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/grain.
The March 4 webinar will start at 11:15 a.m. The session will end at
noon, but Hurburgh will remain online as needed to answer additional
questions. Participants will need to turn on their computer audio to
hear the session.
"This has been an extremely difficult year for grain storage," said
Hurburgh. "Corn was harvested wet and not all was dried because of
dryer capacity shortages. The cold growing season decreased test
weights, which naturally reduced storage life."
Hurburgh said the 2009 crop has about half the storage life of normal
corn, which will make delivering good quality corn in the summer months
a real challenge. "Penalties for spoiled grain are increasing and the
primary user of Iowa corn, ethanol, cannot absorb large amounts of
damaged corn," he said.
The steps that should be taken now to prevent or at least reduce corn
storage losses will be covered in the webinar. |
