Protection from insect infestation may be accomplished by a combination of measures including temperature reduction and occasional fumigation. Irradiation has also been proposed to control insect infestation in cereals and other products but the cost of this expensive and controversial technology is prohibitive and in any event is limited to off-farm use.
Milling rice for home consumption can also be done over a long period, and in Asia it is common for a mill owner to 'rent' his machine to customers. Rental markets for land preparation, with the use of animals or tractors, were once common in the United States, when plows were scarce, and in Europe. Such rental markets are now common in Asia wherever tractors or power tillers have penetrated.
