SW Illinois
For every 10 degrees that you cool the corn in the bin, it will remove .25 point of moisture. For example, if you transfer at 16.5% with a grain temperature of 120 degrees, you will need to cool the corn in the bin to 60 degrees to remove the last 1.5%. It can be a moving target, depending on the outside air temperature. If it's really cold and you can cool the corn in the bin a lot, you can transfer at a higher grain temperature and moisture, speeding things up. If it's very warm outside and you won't be able to cool much in the bin, you'll have to transfer at a lower moisture and grain temp because you can't plan on removing much through cooling. Clear as mud?
