Corn Grain Drydown Calculator

Posted: 09 Oct 2019 05:35 AM

The featured image is a screen capture from a new Corn Drydown Calculator tool that the IEM partnered with the FACST team here at ISU Agronomy to create. You provide the tool with a location, date, and observed corn grain moisture. The tool uses historical data for that location along with a forecast to predict the drydown of the grain. Corn moisture remains high yet for most fields and while the last few days have been ideal for drying, the forecast is not great with colder and wetter weather expected. Strong winds for the weekend are also a concern for increased corn stalk lodging.
