GEAPS 510: Grain Facilities Planning and Design I will run from Sept. 11 to Oct. 13. Attendees will learn how to evaluate a number of potential factors to make the best decisions for their facilities.
The online course from the GEAPS/Kansas State University Distance Education Program identifies types of grain facilities and their purposes, storage structure types and options, how to determine the storage and handling capacities, and how to select a suitable construction site. At the end of the course, participants will be asked to lay out a simple facility.
