lol I have a friend- works down in the grain elevator. He says they strain out as much bug parts as they can but...grain arrives on the train...full of bugs...and dead bugs...
Yup. Well the combines pick up everything that's on the ground. So if there's glass in the field... hahaha
Usually if its big metal pieces we pick those up as that'll ruin the tractor. Usually though the small glass or bottle stuff, trash, doesn't get picked up by us but the tractor (you can't pick up everything). Depends on the farmer though, some are really shitty folks who don't give a damn (the type that leave $250,000 tractors in the field at night) and some are super serious. We're serious folks when it comes to farming and piss and moan about the people who don't give a damn.
Then the grain goes to storage, we're out of places to put grain so we use sheds now. Of course these sheds aren't really clean, clean. Its where we store semi trucks. Like I said some farmers don't give a rats ass and will put grain in um, where the rats live and their dirtiest places, if they can't store anything in the bins.
Bugs are a part of life though, unless you use some crazy pesticide that kills everything that is probably some black market stuff, you're going to have bugs.
