now that I am grinding grain I don't want to fuss with small bags of grain,
I am looking at buying 50 lb bags, and storing it
I understand grain stores well,
and doesn't really get buggy? (I think)
but we have to watch for molds mildew and rodents
right?
so if it is dry, and still in original bag should I just put into clean garbage cans to keep pests away?
problem is the garbage cans would only fit into my humid basement
should I transfer into five gallon buckets that I could line up and build a box around to make a storage bench for dining room?
or just keep in bags, make wood bench, place in wood storage bench (that would be tight so no rodents could enter), and store in new bench on dining room?
I guess I am concerned about a rodent getting in there most of alll,
unless you tell me I should be more concerned about something else,lol
or do you have a better idea?
thanks
