'Here' it istough to get corn below 20& moisture. I've put 30% moisture ear corn in the crib (cold here in MN) but should be 24-26%.
Ear corn sitting in a wagon will mold if it is over 20%. I've done it many times to prove that. :) It does not get any airflow. You need breezes going through the ear corn, not shut in in a wagon inside a shed. Would need to be low moisture. It will not really dry much at all in a few weeks, as there is no airflow to speak of.
You can get away with 17% moisture shell corn in bin & run air on it. Takes a while to get it down to below 15%.
Think you are going to have to get better with the moisture contents to keep the corn safely.
NI picker shells a _lot_ of corn if it gets below 18%. I've proven that too. ;)
Shelling a little out of the crib right now. Hope to fill it again next week.
