Back in the days of picking ear corn, I don't think they let the corn dry down quit so far. Probably picked it no less than 18 to 20% moisture in the kernels. They could get by with this, because it was still on the cob, and put into corn cribs where it could breath air and finish drying down in the crib. Different story nowadays. Grain gets binned and not cribbed. Coops usually doc if over 15% moisture, and all corn is shelled and not picked. Corn comes off cob easier when dry. At 15%, corn shells off cob nice going through combine. At 10 or 12%, it practically just falls off. Thats what combine operators want. If it sticks to the cob, it gets blown out the back of combine and onto the ground. When picking ear corn, you shoot for a different end result. You can try monkeying around with adjustments if you want to. But in my opinion, your biggest problem is you probably let the corn get to dry to be picking ear corn.
