non air corn storage?

At what moisture can 40 degree or colder corn be
put in a cement floor /no air flow bin, for safe
storage until april or may? Also, I have some 12%
old crop corn that I am wondering if it would be
safe to put in an empty no air/no sump cement
floor bin and fill just above the point where the
unload auger brings it down to, and then put
higher moisture corn in to use to keep grain
wagons moving and unload into semis as they are
able to come and would not be in there for more
than a week, unloading from wagons is a PIA.
Would I be OK? moisture will be from 19%-16% on
the corn going into the bin on top of the OC 12%.
Just trying to make a one/two man show a little
more efficient.
 
To hold corn till May would require the corn be under 16% or so. If you move it before March 18% would most likely be ok.

That 12% corn would be fine to make a cone. When you get done scrape the wet corn down to the sump and leave the dry in there.
