Storing seed long term

[TOM4CWB]

So my pondering on the swather with no radio. I’ve had decent varieties over the years which I quit using in favour of others for good reasons but remember the good qualities they had in certain conditions. Boyer oats were a great early variety. Anyway don’t know if it’s practical but thought I have so many pails with lids and why not save half a dozen pails of every variety I grow. Maybe dig a hole in the hill. Imagine they’d suffer from future diseases in the future but if weather ever turned to their advantage you could replicate them if you had a few bushels. I don’t know maybe a dumb idea.

Old small unused grain bins with good roof works well or a container to store seed stocks long term. Dry and cool storage is the best.

LOL!!!
Just thinking about Gerry Ritz standing up in the house telling all his crony's that it was the CWB that spoiled all his grain when all he had to do was put it in small, old wooden bins and wait until there was a market. He sure had them.
