According to the results of the corn burn down held last Friday at Ecker (Former HEB) Feed of Bertha, the corn is dry enough to chop now. Dave Aumundson, Purina Feed Consultant, said the problem is that the ears are not mature, “So do you wait for the ears to mature and let the stalks get drier or chop now?” Twenty tests were run on the corn from around the area, and they tested from 60-66 percent moisture content. A corn burn down held in New Munich the day before ran 70 tests and all tested dry enough for chopping. The desired moisture content for chopped corn is 60-72 percent, depending on the type of storage to be used. Pictured were Gregg Moenkedick, Ron Rosenbaum, Purina Representative; Tome Ecker, Dave Amundson and Ron Sakry reviewing the corn results.
