Harvesting is the act of removing a crop from where it was growing and moving it to a more secure location for processing, consumption, or storage.

The process of cutting and gathering a mature crop is known as harvesting

1. As far as possible new bags should be used. This is due to the reason that old bags may be infested with insects or microorganisms which can damage thegrains.

2. The food grains which are to be stored should be clean, free from insects, cool and dry

.3. After filling, the mouth of the bag should be stitched tightly.

4. While stacking the grain-filled bags in a godown, care should be taken to keep a gap of about 60 to 70 cm between the wall and the bags. This is done to safeguard food grains against any possible damage by moisture due to seepage.
