If not processed or stored exactly right it can develop botulism or go rancid. I had some whole corn that I thought was stored properly in buckets but when I opened it after just a couple of years it was moldy.<BR/>You can click on this link from the providentliving.org website for more information: file:///Users/Family/Desktop/113951_DryProductsLongerTermStorage_Jun_08_pdf.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-87456571463939693832009-01-29T13:33:00.000-07:002009-01-29T13:33:00.000-07:00I would appreciate knowing more about it, because ...I would appreciate knowing more about it, because it would be awful convenient to have in terms of variety.

I may have to make that my next project. I've store it for years with no problem. I keep both whole and the ground cornmeal. I know some of my cornmeal is more then 5 years old and I don't have any problems with it. Will get back to you on this.SJacobushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403735913397481663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-70901906113182864132009-01-29T07:46:00.000-07:002009-01-29T07:46:00.000-07:00HSJacobus--I try to keep my children out of the st...HSJacobus--I try to keep my children out of the storeroom, but for some reason, I find out sometimes that they've been in there anyway.:) We've got a long way to go in terms of making it more organized, but hopefully every little bit counts... <BR/><BR/>I'll have to look into the corn issue, because I am sadly lacking in that category. I would follow your example in looking for the whole corn, because I've heard that the cornmeal and such doesn't have a very long shelf life (which is probably one of the main reasons I haven't focused on it). Thanks for a great idea, and thanks for your comment!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-49403484663141768572009-01-29T00:01:00.000-07:002009-01-29T00:01:00.000-07:00Oh, I forgot.

It's becoming more and more common in the US so yeah, I recommend adjusting for more rice, corn, and oats in your storage. Certainly store the wheat, just store more of what they say of the other, preferably whole! I had to track down whole corn and such through farms and a family owned feed store that cleaned it extra for me.SJacobushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403735913397481663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-38996177240413538352009-01-28T23:58:00.000-07:002009-01-28T23:58:00.000-07:00It always seems like my inventory time is also my ...It always seems like my inventory time is also my clean out the closet time. My kids get in there and it really ends up needing a little help after a while. I'm almost done with mine, but I seem to have gone in opposite order of you. I did the cans first and am now working on buckets. It's a little hard since the garage is a little past full at the moment. Good luck on finishing yours, I'll keep plugging away at mine.SJacobushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403735913397481663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-10374507228624267192009-01-20T17:19:00.000-07:002009-01-20T17:19:00.000-07:00Carl--There are a lot of good food storage/emergen...Carl--There are a lot of good food storage/emergency preparation blogs out there, and I'm glad that they share!<BR/>Yeah, the 55 gallon drums are not easy to deal with, but it's definitely nice to have that amount of water at hand.

Last spring I decided to change the water in 2 of my 4 55 gallon drums. It was a goat rodeo,( to coin a phrase). I ended up doing them about a week apart so the floor could dry in-between,,,<BR/><BR/>Carl In wisconsinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
