or more, begin aerating when the average air
temperature drops by about 15 F.
Monitor stored wheat on a regular basis, at
least weekly until wheat is cooled to 50 F and then
at least monthly until the grain is sold. Good
monitoring practices require checking the moisture
content and temperature of the wheat
throughout the grain mass. Aeration fans should
be run immediately if musty smells or crusted
grain are detected. Continue running fans until
the problem is solved or until the wheat is sold.
