Corn

We started combining corn again today. We quit last week Thursday because the moisture was around 17% and the elevator wouldn't take anything over 16%. We took a sample in after dinner today and it was 16.8% moisture. They said they would take it at that moisture because they could haul it out right away to the ethanol plant in Mina, SD. Of course they charge you a drying charge when they take it wet. I guess they are taking corn up to 18% moisture. We finally got rolling around 2:30 and should probably get done tomorrow if all goes well.
