Grain dust is a difficult, dangerous, and expensive material to handle. A country elevator handling 750,000 bushels of grain annually would spend an estimated $500,000 for equipment to meet Clean Air Act standards. The additional cost of controlling dust may be offset by using the substance as fuel, feed, or fertilizer. Grain dust as a feed ingredient would likely be the optimum use. Additional research areas are identified.
