Aeration, aflatoxin, meal moths and rodent control will be among the topics addressed Jan. 17 at the Texas High Plains Grain Elevator Workshop here, said a Texas Cooperative Extension specialist.

"The stored grain industry, just like other aspects of area agriculture, is not immune to change," said Dr. Carl Patrick, Extension entomology specialist. "Working with the local Tri-State Chapter of Grain Elevator and Processing Society, we are attempting to address some of these changes as well as discuss the latest research relevant to the stored grain industry."

The 18th annual workshop will begin at 8 a.m. in the Regency Room of the Amarillo Civic Center. The workshop has been submitted to the Texas Department of Agriculture for continuing education credits for commercial, non-commercial and private applicator licenses.

Additional topics of discussion will be stored grain protectants, laws and regulations, fumigation and weed control.

Pre-registration is requested by Jan. 10. The fee is $30 and checks should be made to: Tri-State Chapter of GEAPS.

Mail registration forms and fees to Carl Patrick, Texas Cooperative Extension, 6500 Amarillo Blvd. West, Amarillo, Texas 79106.
