Dr. Dirk Maier, Iowa State University, during a Greater Iowa Chapter meeting, presented on best practices for drying, aerating and managing corn and soybeans given this year’s delayed and extended harvest season. Topics include: • High capacity drying and the challenges of working with wet corn at lower temperatures • Aeration and stored grain quality management during this late and extended season • How to best prepare for the spring holding and summer carry-over period • Monitoring grain quality using CO2 and how to detect any signs of spoilage.
