Yes I have helped pickup a pile, but no not my own. Elevator owner said he would never do it again either.  Put dry corn out and had to dry it all again because it got rained on (yes it still could get rained on this time of year, much worse than snow).  PITA and.......Geesh....I don't care.....pile all you want...was just giving my opinion.  The man wanted opinions.  Sorry I will just go back to reading next time. I'm out.
