Subject: Corn Moisture Surprise


Winterset, Iowa
I had been testing hand shelled samples for moisture and kept getting around 22%. Old rule of thumb used to be add a point for going through combine so that would be around 23%. With weather moving in, I decided to go ahead and get something started. All loads hauled were running between 18.3 and 19.8%, now I wish I would have been going earlier. Rain is taking over. My drying bins have electric heaters and don't seem to work well on corn over 20%, thats why I was waiting for drier corn. Good Luck to everyone still harvesting and be safe.
