We kick things off with a topic that hits grain quality and farm margins head-on: grain storage. Dr. Kenneth Hellevang, Emeritus Professor and retired Extension Engineer from North Dakota State University, breaks down what matters most, from bin size and aeration capacity to temperature cables, airflow setup, and new sensor tools hitting the market.

Grain storage gives you more control over harvest timing, marketing, and delivery, but the system has to fit the scale of your operation. Learn how to protect grain quality and hold more value from your corn crop. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Every ten degrees that we cool the grain, we double the storage life."

Meet the guest: Dr. Kenneth Hellevang earned his Ph.D. in engineering and served as Extension Engineer and Professor at North Dakota State University for over four decades. His research and outreach focused on grain drying and storage, aeration, and structural engineering for agriculture.
