Hybred will not make a usuable product but as far as saving left over seed just keep in paper bag that rodents cannot get into. Temperature does not make a difference. Seed companys do not have tenperature controled storage facilities. When you saved the open polinated seed for use they took square 2" pieces of wood and put spike nailes about every 2 1/2" or so 2 ears would fit without hitting and cut the heads of the nails off so they could push the but end of a freshly harvested ear on that spike and hung the units up from the barn rafters or beams so the air would circulate and dry the ears. Then about late March-early april they would set and shell the ears by hand with shelling the small round kernels off one end into one container, then shell the large round kernels off the other into a different container, then the flat kernels in center would shell the small flats to a third container, the large flats to a forth container and finally the medium flats in the last container and that should have the most kernels in and that is what most used till they ran out then go to the large flats but would not use the small kernals of either flat or round untill they needed some for replanting as it was thought the small kernels would not make a viable plant, what was not planted was then fed to the chickens. They saved the best shaped and largest ears for the seed.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
