With harvest wrapping up and crops in bins, protecting access to key markets remains top-of-mind for growers. Proper storage is critical for maintaining market access, and Keep it Clean reminds growers that clean bins, moisture and temperature monitoring, and careful aeration management all reduce storage risks while keeping grain market ready until delivery.
The Keep it Clean program emphasizes five key practices that support market readiness:
- Use acceptable pesticides registered for your crops in Canada
- Read and follow the label for application rates, timing and pre-harvest intervals
- Manage disease pressure through integrated disease management to protect yield and quality
- Store properly to maintain crop quality and reduce contamination risk
- Deliver what you declare to ensure grain meets variety and product requirements
Together, these practices help keep markets open for Canadian grain.
