Your grain's quality doesn't improve in bins. Your team needs to know how to manage quality from harvest until you load it out of your facility. In GEAPS 520: Grain Quality Management you learn:
How physical and chemical properties affect grains
How to determine moisture content
How grain is sampled and grading standards
How molds and mycotxins affect quality
“This was the first course I took from GEAPS and K-State, and found it to be very good. It helped me understand more of what I need to know on a day-to-day basis. We work for the end product to be good, and it is crucial to understand what is or is not happening in bins. This course helped me understand the effort that needs to take place for good quality grain.” - Duane Ertman, CGOM, Vita Plus Corp
