Controlling Stored-Grain Pests On Nebraska Farms, H. D. Tate, D. B. Whelan

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Warfare against destructive insects is not ended when grain has been placed in the bin. Here it is subject to attack by stored-grain pests which reduce its weight, feeding quality, and value for seed. These losses become especially serious when large stocks of grain are held for extended periods on farms and in warehouses. This circular describes methods available for handling and storage that will prevent or suppress infestations before they reach serious proportions.
