Lots of hi-moisture harvested around here in the 25-30% range, and I believe earlage is harvested a couple of points higher - 30-33%. There are some guys putting combine heads on forage harvesters and taking snaplage. I believe they want that closer to 40% (or above?). 20.5% just sounds pretty dry for earlage. There is a guy here who is planning to shell his corn around 22%, put it in a silo. He bought a hammermill to grind it as it comes out of the silo. At least, that is how I understand he is set up. Your corn sounds about right for something like that. If you have not posted on StockTalk, that forum might be a good place for this question. |
