Leroy: I grew corn for storage as high moisture ground ear corn. On ocasion I did sell a bit of it right from field, ground and ready for high moisture storage. We weighed the loads of product and calculated the actual weight of 15.5% dry matter material from whatever the actual dry matter was. My buyer and I considered the fact this product was allready ground did add value to the product. At the time research people advised us that considering the factors; savings on drying, product being ground, cob material having real value as cattle feed and the fact cob added very little on a weight basis. If by bushel it adds considerably more. Thus the only factor we considered for value was dry matter conversion.

We were quite satisfied with this arrangment, however bear in mind I was doing the harvesting, grinding and delivery. My customer was getting a Nov price, but he was also porviding the storage. This arrangement went on for roughly 10 years, so we were quite happy with it. It really only ended as I needed all the product myself.
