G84-692 Aeration Of Stored Grain (Revised April 1993), David P. Shelton, Thomas L. Thompson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the role of aeration as part of a comprehensive management program for maintaining the quality of stored grain.
Grain is stored for a variety of reasons including expectations of higher prices and for use as animal feed. Regardless of the reason, a comprehensive management program is required to maintain grain quality. This includes: 1) making sure that the grain going into storage is dry, clean and in good condition; 2) regularly inspecting the grain to locate temperature, moisture, or insect problems; and 3) aerating the grain to maintain uniform temperature and moisture conditions, prevent localized hot spot …

G84-696 Small Grains For Silage Or Hay, Paul Q. Guyer, Terry L. Mader
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using small grains for silage or hay, including handling, storage, feeding, animal performance, and nitrate toxicity potential.
Small grain crops are potentially important sources of high quality forage. Harvesting small grains for hay or silage rather than as grain may mean increased dollar returns per acre. Small grain silage or hay represents more total nutrient production per acre than harvest as grain and, when fed to ruminants, results in increased animal production.
