The best way to store grain on-farm is in sealed grain silos with aeration and fumigation capability. This allows you to control moisture, temperature and insect activity, ensuring long-term grain quality and compliance with Australian standards. Silos can also work effectively as part of a broader storage strategy when paired with high-volume storage options such as grain sheds and bunkers, providing greater flexibility and storage management across harvest and outloading operations.

Grain can be stored for months or even years in grain silos if kept in the right conditions. Using gas sealed silos, aeration systems and regular monitoring, grain quality can be maintained for long-term storage and marketing flexibility.
