I need some opinions here. I am in Central
Minnesota and had the local Feed Store test the
moisture on my corn. It tested between 21 and
23%. I use a corn picker and store it in the wire
corncribs with a cone top. Last year I waited until it's
stayed below freezing to pick my corn but it shelled
so bad. I am wondering if it will keep in the crib if I
pick it now or am I better off waiting until it gets
colder? Another option I have is to fill my wagons
and store them in the shed until it gets colder and
get that much off the field now. Just wondering if
that would be an option so that it wouldn't get rained
on in the crib or is the moisture to high, is it going to
heat up? Thank you in advance for your help!
