This cannot be overemphasized from loss due to rodents to environment. A good system would put you in a right spot thereby maximizing your production output.
below is a list of factors that can affect farm produce.
Environmental influences on the stored product
Storage losses
- Losses during storage may occur in many ways:
- losses in weight due to insects, rodents or birds eating the grain deterioration through fungus growth and rotting
- loss in quality through biting damage, insect and rodent excrement and fungus growth
- loss of motivation in the farmer to grow more, because he is not able to store his harvest or part thereof in a safe way for any long period of time
- damage to sacks, which causes waste during transportation
- decline in germination capacity of stored seeds
