Why Proper Storage Matters for Feed and Seed
Store feed and seed properly to prevent damage and keep your animals and crops healthy. In Maine, fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels make feed and seed vulnerable to moisture and pests. Without a reliable storage method, your investment can spoil or attract rodents, insects, and mold.
Choosing the Right Containers for Safe Storage
Selecting containers that block moisture and pests is essential. Heavy-duty plastic bins or metal barrels create a barrier to rodents and insects. At Perkco Supply Inc. in Exeter, Maine, we recommend options that are airtight and simple to clean, giving you dependable storage season after season.
Controlling Moisture to Protect Quality
Proper technique matters when you store feed and seed properly to prevent damage. Keep containers off the ground and away from windows and doors. Use pallets or racks to allow airflow. For large amounts, watch humidity levels and use desiccant packs or a dehumidifier to keep supplies dry.
Keeping Pests Out of Your Supply
Rodents and insects can quickly ruin your stored feed and seed. Inspect storage areas regularly, seal any openings, and keep the space tidy. Place traps or deterrents near storage zones, but avoid contaminating your supplies. Perkco Supply Inc. offers quality products for pest prevention in Maine barns and sheds.
Organizing and Rotating Inventory
Label and date your containers to keep your supply fresh and organized. Rotate your stock regularly, using the oldest feed and seed first. This method ensures nothing sits too long and reduces waste—a key step for feed and seed storage.
