  • Aeration;
  • Acceptable waterproof covering;
  • Access to the grain for the purpose of sampling; and
  • All grain removed by May 1, 2019, unless an extension is granted by the agency director.

For an emergency storage request, the grain must be:

  • Paid in full and owned by the elevator; and
  • Removed by Jan. 31, 2019, unless an extension is granted by the agency director.

To apply for either, send your request in writing to [email protected] or fax it to 317-232-1362.
