'Corn that is being left to be harvested as grain . is presently drying down quite rapidly; this is fine if the corn is to be stored in the dry State, but it may pose. some problems- for those farmers who are going to store it as high moisture corn. In order that proper ensiling action take place, corn should not be' put into a silo below a certain • minimum moisture content, Shel- led corn going into an open-top silo needs to be ground and have a moisture level 25% or above to ensure good packing to exclude the air. Even whole shelled corn going into a controlled atmos- phere (sealed) silo should not, have a moisture content below 22%. High moisture ground ear corn should have an average moisture content of 28% •or bet- ter -- which means the ears should be harvested when the kernels are 25% or above. To ensure that the corn crop is harvested at the right moisture level, 'it it important to check moisture content with a proper moisture meter. Unfortunately, not all types of meters give ac- curate readings in the' range rec- ommended for high moisture corn. The most suitable for high moisture corn is the oven type, used in conjunction with an ac- • curate set of scales. Adding water to corn to in- crease the moisture content is extremely difficult to accomplish without the use of equipment //specificallY designed for the purpose, since 'it' takei" a good deal of water to make much of a change. For example, to raise a ton of corn froM 20 to 25% moisture 'would require abmit '135 lbs. (131/2 gals.) of water, and This must be soaked, up by the corn prior to going into storage. . The secret then, is to watch the moisture content of the corn, and harvest while it is still in the right moisture range. Farmers in Bruce wishing to' have corn checked for moisture content are invited to . bring samples to the Ontario Ministry of. Agriculture and Food -office in Walkerton. ' H. E.
