The Rural Voice, 1982-11, Page 25High moisture corn: Farm to farm sales Farm to farm sales of high moisture corn are again popular this year. You need weight and per cent moisture for each load to accommodate sales. The Ontario Grain and Feed Dealers Associa- tion publishes tables showing the weight of wet corn at different moisture levels needed to produce a dry tonne. These tables with suggested drying charges can be picked up at the Stratford O.M.A.F. office. The tables are used to determine the number of dry tonnes from wet weight. It's then relatively simple to determine a price by using the current price for dry corn. The seller has avoided a drying charge of $12.-$13. by selling wet. He may be willing to sell to you at the going price minus drying. In return he'd likely want you to provide transportation from the field. It's vital to weigh and moisture test corn that is sold from farmer to farmer. It's necessary in order to insure a fair deal to both parties. As well, weight and moisture test figures will be necessary in order to collect any stabilization pay- ments on the 1982 crop. PE1)UII'.
