This is my first year storing corn in my bin at home here in Central MN. 2000 bushels of corn, went in at 18.8% moisture when the air temp was about 35 degrees. This bin has an air floor, but no heat, stirrators or any of that stuff, just a fan. I had trouble with my fan, needed the motor replaced, that took about 4 days. Once I got the fan back on and running, the weather had turned much colder, below 0 for about 4 days. I leveled the top of the bin and then let the fan run for this whole 4 day period it was below 0. Then the weather warmed back up to about 32 degrees so I turned the fan off. This was about 10 days ago. I have not run the fan since. I crawled up to the top of the bin yesterday, all seemed well. No funny smell, the corn was cold. I am wondering what kind of maintenance I need to do to keep this corn in condition, and hopefully even dry it a bit. When should I be running the fan? When should I not be running the fan? When should I think about getting the corn out of there?

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
