Salvaging Moldy Feed Before it's Ruined

[@jkasak7633]

I was thinking about Joel salatin’s pigerator concept where he buried whole corn in deep bedding and lets the pigs root through it and turn it. He said it lasted all winter. You got me interested in checking out the difference between the fermentation and decomposition smells.

Fermented grain can have a soured smell or an almost sweet smell, but it's not what you'd immediately call foul. Spoilage smells like when food goes quite bad in the refrigerator.

Those will produce condensation inside setting out in the sun especially black. They need to be kept out of the sunlight.

I should have kept them completely out of the sun. The grain may have been a little high in moisture too. I never did check before I stored it away.
