Storage Mustard seed can be stored safely when the moisture content reaches 9 percent or less. Care should be taken to avoid cracking the seed while moving the crop in and out of storage. Cracked seed ends up as dockage and a loss to the producer. When drying, it is essential not to exceed air temperatures of 150 degrees F or seed temperatures of 120 degrees F. Tight bins and truck boxes free of cracks or holes, are essential for transfer and storage of mustard. Back to Storage - Mustard
