RYN: thanks for your comment 🙂 .. photoshop is such an awesome programme it gives the most average of artists the ability to create wonderful things.

ryn – corn – etc. Corn has to be dry to a certain percent of moisture – 12% I think – to be stored and or transported. It has to be that dry or it will spoil. Most corn picked from the field has to be dried with propane and electricity to get it to that percent. That is costly. The longer the corn stays in the field the dryer it gets. There are a lot of other factors, weather, variety of corn, etc. In our case we ran out of time, we can dry one bin full but then don’t have other storage so we have to get it hauled to other storage or sell it, and then refill the bin and dry it and then sell or haul it to storage again. This year instead of filling the bin for the last time, we are leaving the corn in the field so it can finish drying on its own. That is a risk and spring weather will affect getting it out then and getting the next year’s crop in, but it’s basically an economic decision. Corn is also very hard to dry after the temperatures get below freezing because it has to be warmed before it’s dried – using more expensive energy than ever. The last few years the corn has dried naturally in the field and early in the season so drying costs were negligable.

You really need to write here more often. It’s been two months and a week. You must have something to share with us….
