Moisture Discounts Up Sharply On Grain
Iowa farmers face higher moisture discounts on corn this fall as elevators raise rates due to drying costs and fuel prices. ISU economist Bob Wisner notes discounts reflect drying and shrinkage, with several methods in use including a 2 percent per moisture point over 15.5 and a flat 4 cent per point option. Farmers should calculate drying costs and shrinkage to judge potential returns before sale.
