Readers can learn about building clamps for storing roots, operating and establishing a community grain bank, ensuring grain stores are left clean and hygienic and using protective plants to reduce pest damage. Other matters dealt with are pest control, removing oxygen from grain and practical tips for drying grain. There is also a Bible study guide.
