Subject: Re: What to treat wheat stored in bin on farm.


My dad used to use DE in bins 25 years ago and never had bugs but he couldn't find a reliable source for it and gave up. I didn't remember that until the post above that mentioned it. I have an old Gandy applicator box off of a planter. Is that what you are talking about? How do I go about calibrating how much to apply? I suppose trial and error but how much per bushel would be sufficient to keep the bugs out? Does pulling air through the grain when ventilating move the DE enough to cause problems or will it stay mixed in the grain well enough to keep the bugs out even with air being pulled through it? Does the elevator complain when you haul it to market? I appreciate the reply.
