Webinar: Managing Canadian Wheat Under Hot and Humid Climates

Whole grains and grain products are susceptible to the effects of heat and moisture during transit and storage which can affect their quality. This informative webinar will highlight some of the issues handlers, transporters, and processors face when it comes to managing Canadian wheat under hot, humid conditions, and discuss ways to minimize spoilage and maintain profitability in challenging environments.   

Join Cereals Canada and storage expert Dr. Digvir Jayas, P.Eng., P.Ag., to learn about maintaining ventilation during transit, perforated flour and horizontal air flow configurations, and how to avoid grain spoilage in storage.
