Training Module on Grain Losses
“This module is for farmers who wish to learn more about potential grain losses and their causes, as well as some methods for ameliorating these losses. It is important that farmers are aware of the risks they incur by not improving their current grain harvesting, drying, threshing, and above all, storage practices: while the economic loss from the current grain storage practices is painful, the health hazards have even more serious effects.”
