I realize wet years are our bane, but 2009 reinforces my understanding I am in the energy business - not the water business.<br /><br />We didn't get enough BTU's, IMHO.John Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245790061133614986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951078.post-53841958458955700052009-10-18T18:09:52.614-06:002009-10-18T18:09:52.614-06:00I don't want to be a wet blanket, but my exper...I don't want to be a wet blanket, but my experience with many falls like this in upstate NY is that anon 2 is right. In general tw does not increase. But, your plan to only partially dry this fall is one of the very best ways to preserve/improve tw. This I have learned also from experience. When the air is cool and dry (<50% rh) let the aeration fans run. This will dry the corn in the bottom of the bin and keep the corn in the top in condition until you can remove it to finish drying. <br />I'll also be busy this week with harvest as my current progress is behind yours.
