With drought and dry conditions affecting a large portion of the wheat crop this year, yields are down. Also, while holding grain in storage can provide valuable flexibility to sell at a higher price when the market is right, it can also mean your grain is at risk of costly insect infestations.

Implementing a proactive grain protection protocol that includes products like Gravista® Insecticide and Diacon® IGR from Central Life Sciences is the key to preserving grain quality and preventing costly insect infestations.
John Mays with Central Life Sciences joins us to discuss the best practices to protect our stored wheat. Learn more online at https://www.wheatprotection.com.
