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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
