Water is the agriculture industry’s best friend – and worst enemy. It is essential for growing crops and feeding livestock, yet it is also detrimental if it seeps into a poultry fat tank or a feed and grain bulk storage silo.
It only takes 12 percent moisture content inside a feed storage container to develop condensation that leads to grain caking. Moisture can also inflict serious rust damage to the surface of a storage bin and quickly compromise the integrity of all the product inside.
Fortunately, there are multiple metal fabrication and finishing techniques to protect the integrity of steel storage structures, offering long-term protection even during extreme climate changes that expose steel to water and fluctuating temperatures.
