Grain storage is the final stage in the grain production process. It is difficult to store grain without losses or a decline in quality, because grain is a living organism and provides a favorable environment for the growth of microorganisms, diseases, mites, and rodents. Preserving the grain’s high sowing and processing properties until the time of use is possible only under optimal storage conditions. The essence of the storage regime lies in creating and consistently maintaining such environmental conditions and such a state of the grain mass that physiological activity is minimized and the main factors leading to grain spoilage cannot manifest themselves. In global practice, the following grain storage conditions are used: 1) in a dry state; 2) in a cooled state; 3) without air access. When selecting a storage condition, it is necessary to consider grain moisture content, temperature, air access, climatic conditions, the economic feasibility of the condition, and other factors.

Taking into account the foregoing, research on the impact of storage conditions on the quality of winter wheat during storage is relevant and of practical interest.
