The stored-grain-management group (including researchers in the Department of Biosystems Engineering, University of Manitoba and in the Cereal Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) was successful in obtaining 4.6 million dollars (Canadian) to construct and equip a new facility for research and development in all aspects of drying, handling, and storing grain. The major portion of the funds was provided by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Manitoba Innovation Fund, Gateway to Future Capital Campaign, Manitoba Hydro, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and the grain industry. This paper briefly describes the capabilities of the new research facility. It is indicated that research conducted using the facility will provide the knowledge required to reduce qualitative and quantitative losses in stored grain in Canada and worldwide.
