While you had it worse than most in your area, the growing degree days were too short this year in most of the midwest & corn everywhere was very wet. One load of mine tested 36&; a lot were between 28-30%, now at the end some got down to 19% but very few; 23-24% was normal even at the end. We planted ahead of normal & had a very dry summer.
