Moisture, drying, and storage options for 1971 corn
Wisner explains how high moisture corn affects costs and profits at harvest. Drying costs and potential weight loss reduce returns, while drying can be advantageous if prices hold near 90 cents and moisture discounts rise later. Storage loans, reseal payments, and futures hedging offer price protection through 1973.
