I have some corn standing still that I would like to get harvested. The local elevators are full and not accepting corn right now and are unsure when they will accept corn again. I'm wondering what to do now. I do have 3 grain bins that I have never used, 1 has an air floor, the other 2 do not. The corn is about 17-18% moisture. I understand that I can fill the bin with the floor and run the fan, my question here is, will running the fan dry the grain at all? we are currently having 60 degree highs, and lows in the low 40's here in Central MN. This bin holds 2200 bushel.
Also, I have 2 bins without air floors, each hold 1500 bushel. They do have a cement floor that has an additional couple inches of cement in them to help keep the grain from getting wet. If I put 18% corn in there, will it keep until spring? how about longer than spring? Also, I've heard of screw in fans, do these help? are they affordable? should I look into one of these?
Any other ideas to help keep the grain in shape while being store in a bin without an air floor? I'm a bit intimidated and worried about grain loss by using these bins, but I gotta do something if I wanna get the crop off. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
