When grain is piled on the ground there is no plastic put down. Mostly because during clean up most of it would get ripped to pieces and just become a contaminant in the grain. The ground is just leveled and maybe rolled to make a solid surface. Back in the 70s and 80s the area I lived in NE Kansas was a big producer of milo or grain sorghum. One year in particular the area had very good yields. The grain elevator in our small town of about 75 people made a pile right on Main Street as well as several other locations around town. My grandparents lived in the town. Milo is a fall harvested crop like corn. They did not practice covering the piles with plastic because the milo was a small round grain about an 1/8 inch diameter. It would form a crust that would sort of repel water. Can’t remember if it was a gathering for Thanksgiving or Christmas at Grandmas but a bunch of us cousins went out an climbed all over the grain piles unknowingly breaking up the crust. My dad actually worked at the elevator and me being a farm kid that ..should know better.. I certainly got a stern butt chewing for causing all that added damage to the grain stored in the piles. Sorry for going OT. Silos in that area were probably on 1 in 15 to 20 farms mostly dairies. Mostly unused these days.
