South cental Ohio
Everyone has given you good advice. All I can tell you is that when I picked corn and put it in the wire cribs, anything over around 18% would bridge bad when it came time to grind feed out of them. The dryer the corn you put in a crib , the easier it will come out but you'll sacrifice some shelling in the field. The wetter you pick the less field loss you will have but you take more chance on it keeping and possibly harder conditions getting it out of the crib. All depends. If you aren't picking much and using a small, narrow wooden crib and it won't take you long,,,, then watch the weather and wait for ideal conditions.
