Bottom half of the bin gets too dry no matter how you do it unless you run out of proper drying weather before it is dry all the way. As long as you put more wet corn in or turn off the fan before the top of your first batch gets below 15%.

Normally the bottom third of the bin ends up between 13 and 14% by the time the top is below 15. You can mitigate some of that by shutting fans down on one bin when the top is around 16% and blend when loading trucks, but that only works if you plan to sell during the winter and half empty the fully dried bin first.

The over drying issue is a significant part of why I run a stirator now. Even if I don't use heat I can stir at the end and only have about 1% variation from first to last load.
