Grain is an excellent insulator, thus the center of your grain bin stays warmer longer. Moisture migration may occur in any storage tank. It is caused by differences in grain air temperatures. Air currents always take the path of least resistance. In the fall, the cold air on the opposite side of the bin (cold air is heavier) pushes the warmer air into the center of the bin, where it moves upward and eventually encounters the cool air at the top. This results in condensation and crusting. The opposite may take place in the spring and summer, with condensation and spoilage occurring at the bottom of the bin. Temperature monitoring cables provide the information needed to help keep temperatures uniform throughout the bin, eliminating moisture migration
