Dave with the daily temperatures in the fifties and the nights down to 35-40 that corn will keep at 18% for months. I would want it moved before the warm up in late February or March but until then I would not worry too much. IF your worried you can buy the screw in aeration fans. I used them in piles for years. Just move them around and plug them in on real cold nights.
Also around here you can rent a grain vac for around a dime a bushel. Those make cleaning up a pile in a shed real easy.
A bushel is 1.25 cu.ft. So you can figure how big a space you need by how many bushel you think you will have.
All kidding aside, I would be harvesting some how with good weather and late season dates.
If you have several wagons and a truck, plus the combine you should be able to hold a 1000 bushel. That is a nice semi load. Is there a market a little future away that you can just hire the hauling done and then just pay the local fellow????
We emptied some bins out a few weeks ago when it rained so we would have room to finish. We hauled that 80 miles to Davenport. We could get three loads a day with each semi there. The local ethanol plant is 15 miles away and the fellow where getting 2 loads a day there and setting in line the rest of the time. Even with the extra distance we get a better basis and faster unload times.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
