I had about 2 acres of corn where a new power line is going. It tested 22% moisture. I shelled it today (about 400 bu) and put it in a 21
ft. diameter bin with a drying floor and fan. Bin has a spreader so right now I have about 1 1/2-2 ft of corn in the bin. If I do not add
any more corn and run the fan the next 3 weeks will the corn dry down to a safe to store moisture? Next weeks forecast is nice weather
with temps in the upper 70's. I also plan to walk around on the corn every two or three days to move it and make sure no crust forms.
They offered to pay for it and mow it off but I hate to see the waste. I did mow the stalks and should get a few round bales of nice
fodder next week. Tom
