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

Control Of Stored Grain Pests In Nebraska, M. H. Swenk, D. B. Whelan
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
At the close of 1939 about twice the amount of wheat was in storage in Nebraska as compared to the close of 1938. Frequently a new crop of grain goes into storage before the preceding older grain leaves the farm, and, due to inadequate storage space, the crops are not kept separated, thus promoting an early infestation of the new grain from the older grain that has become infested. Under such conditions the damage by stored grain pests becomes a matter of unusual importance.
Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk
Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
In Nebraska there are about 20 species of insects that injure stored grain more or less. Some are beetles and their larvae, others are the caterpillars of small moths. To the farmer all are "weevil," although that name is really properly applied only to two beetle species-the granary weevil and the rice weevil. The following paragraphs and illustrations will describe the several more important stored grain pests to be found in this State, so that the farmer may recognize the particular pest or pests that are doing the injury to his grain, and may then apply the proper remedy.
