Season 2, Episode 12 - Alternative storage technologies with Graham Thorpe
As corn and soybean harvest progresses in the USA (almost all of the wheat crop has already been harvested), we have to consider grain quality and preservation. Drying and aeration is important due to the potential of mold and insect infestation. This episode is part 2 of a mini-series on preservation. Our guest today is Dr. Graham Thorpe. He has worked for many years to improve moisture control of grain in storage. In fact, he even contributed a chapter to my recent book.
If you are interested, his chapter on alternative and emerging storage technologies can be found here.
More about Graham and is work can be found at his faculty website at Victoria University and at the Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities.
He can be contacted at graham.thorpe@vu.edu.au. Thank you, Graham, for a great conversation about grain storage!
