This is my first year storing corn in my bin at home here in Central MN. 2000 bushels of corn, went in at 18.8% moisture when the air temp was about 35 degrees. This bin has an air floor, but no heat, stirrators or any of that stuff, just a fan. I had trouble with my fan, needed the motor replaced, that took about 4 days. Once I got the fan back on and running, the weather had turned much colder, below 0 for about 4 days. I leveled the top of the bin and then let the fan run for this whole 4 day period it was below 0. Then the weather warmed back up to about 32 degrees so I turned the fan off. This was about 10 days ago. I have not run the fan since. I crawled up to the top of the bin yesterday, all seemed well. No funny smell, the corn was cold. I am wondering what kind of maintenance I need to do to keep this corn in condition, and hopefully even dry it a bit. When should I be running the fan? When should I not be running the fan? When should I think about getting the corn out of there?
