Subject: RE: When do you shut fan off air drying corn?


Coring a partially dried bin can cause problems. It can be ok also, but there is a risk.
It can pull wet corn down in the center where the corn around it is dry.
Then it never dries as the air goes the path of least resistance.
I will run the fans as it gets colder, enough to freeze it.
Next spring I will pull a couple loads out of each 12,000 bu bin.
I likely won't run the fan after I freeze the corn this winter.
My main buyer pretty much just shrinks it if it is less than 17, so there is no gain to offset the electric bill.
20% corn gets the fan ran until it is dry on top or cold. 40 F is probably OK.
