| I don't think my corn is in as good of shape as bherms...
Mine went in wet, dried down well, and looked (and smelled) to be in good shape in multiple checks. Today I went in to get a sample for test weight and the smell hit me. The edges were pretty warm (it's been in the 80s the last couple days) but the center is still cold a couple feet down. I tried to core it but it bridged over the discharge after about 75 bushels. It was pulling down in the center at the top, though. I was able to get the stirator going and the corn coming up seems to be ok, but there is a lot of moisture being pushed out by the fan.
This is a 30ft bin about 17ft deep with a 10hp centrifugal fan (currently running). Am I screwed or can I still save it? I've never dealt with spoiling corn before so I'm not sure how to handle it. Do I have someone from the elevator come out to look at it to determine if it's still acceptable or do I take a load in to see what they say?
To everyone else that still has corn in the bin: Check them now!!! | |
