Kevin decided he wanted to fill a crib with ear corn and asked if I would like to help and of course I said yes that I would, (even though for me it was on a spur of the moment).

This past Saturday, Oct 8th, my dad and I got the NI 323 picker out for a little trip around the field. It was a beautiful day and the corn was ready to pick. We were picking a little to run through a MM D corn sheller I bought. We didn't get to run the corn through the sheller, yet. I bought this picker on a loca...

Going to pick some corn this week. The corn is at 15% moisture and will be put up in a commodity shed after harvested. Should I be worried about there being a limited amount of air movement through the ear corn at the moisture it is at and how it is being stored. I will be shelling it as I need to make hog feed.
