Best Method of Storing Seed Corn
Proper seed corn storage hinges on ventilation and a dry atmosphere. From field to winter, moisture must be reduced from about sixty percent to roughly ten percent, with careful drying and tight weatherproofing. Favor a dry, ventilated space such as a well‑ventilated vacant room or a dry cellar, ensuring windows face multiple sides and doors stay closed during damp spells. Avoid stock areas or barns where moisture and freezes threaten seed vitality.
