Wet corn risk grows as Iowa farmers watch moisture rise

Iowa State University Extension Agricultural Engineer Larry Van Fossen warns farmers to monitor wet corn on farms as warm weather arrives. He notes corn at 22 to 23 percent moisture is already a concern and deterioration will raise resale losses, potentially 40 to 50 cents per bushel. Options include selling wet corn or installing on farm drying, but action is urged before spoilage worsens.
