A granary is a building or structure used for storing grain. It is designed to protect harvested crops from pests, moisture, and spoilage. Granaries can be found in agricultural areas and are essential for farmers to ensure their grain remains safe until it is sold or used. Traditionally, granaries were made from wood or stone, but modern versions may use metal or concrete. The stored grain can include various types, such as wheat, corn, or rice. Proper ventilation and temperature control are important in a granary to maintain the quality of the stored grain.
