I 100% believe in the phantom yield loss. Have seen it many times over the years. For my situation I feel like I can shell 20-22% corn and pay for the dryer gas with the extra bushels. I would prefer to be done by the time corn hits 18 but that doesn't usually happen. That being said almost all my corn is coming home to go in the bin to be hauled at a later date. If I had very little storage I would rethink it because of having to handle it twice at harvest.


What Doug said BUT even wetter corn --start at black layer 25% + Dryer setup, gas, and electric will pay easily --- shell as fast as you can--corn drys quickly in the field
has worked for me
