Farmers sell to grain mills by the bushel. Grain mills store some raw seed and grind the rest down into wheat flour, corn meal, etc. Grain mills sell to food manufacturers to make things like bread and cookies.
Grain silos are used by grain mills and farmers to store unprocessed grain. Because supply is highest during harvest (and hence prices lowest), farmers often use grain silos to store grain until prices rise.
So it's not really a quality thing, it's a quantity.
How do they keep it from getting moldy? Are there fans or something inside to churn that stuff?
Actually, yes. Many have large blower fans that will blow fresh air in through diffusers in the bottom to help control moisture. Many even have auger systems that pull grain from the bottom and scatter it around the top thus circulating the grain to aid in drying. (shivvers.com)
I wonder how they fight off rodents and other pests. I'm up in Wisconsin now, i would love to find a place with some granaries. I would just ask see what they say, that is if there's any anyone to talk to
bread and cookies.
Farmers are the number one producer of goyslop.
