southern MN | If it gets lower than 18% you get terrible shelling loss, especially with today's hybreds.
If you get over 24% actual you need to know your crib, your air temps, and how long you wish to store it. A skinny crib, a cold winter, and if you are grinding a load a week out of it to use the wetter stuff up by March, you can put in the higher end.
We put in 33% in a couple of 'those' years, but it was a gamble and had to be using it and there was some issues. Needed the cattle feed and the corn didn't get any better those 2 years.... 28% worked ok in our wood crib, our climate, gringing out the early loads by March.......
