Corn Drydown Podcast

Author(s): Amanda Douridas, CCA , Author(s): Elizabeth Hawkins

Many corn fields across Ohio are sitting above 25% moisture and farmers may be wondering how much drying action will occur in the next few weeks. In the most recent episode of the Agronomy and Farm Management Podcast, we share research results and tools to help farmers make informed decisions on corn drying in-field this time of year. Listen on Apple, Google or online: https://podcast.osu.edu/agronomy/.

Considerations for Drying High Moisture Corn

Author(s): Elizabeth Hawkins , Author(s): Jason Hartschuh, CCA

Corn harvest progress in Ohio has been behind pace as field drying has been slower than expected. Currently only 29% of the corn crop has been harvested compared to a 5-year average of 49%. With the recent rainfall and colder temperatures in the forecast, it will become much more difficult to field dry corn creating a need to send high moisture corn to the dryer.

Ohio Crop Progress: Precipitation, Cool Weather, and Corn Dry Down

Author(s): Osler Ortez

USDA Update
Corn harvest progress is slow but coming along (figure 1). On the last USDA report (10/16/2023), the average statewide temperature for the week ending on October 15 was 53 degrees (1 degree below normal). As far as precipitation, weather stations recorded an average of 0.65 inches (0.09 inches above average).

Corn Pre-Harvest Check

Author(s): Taylor Dill , Author(s): Jason Hartschuh, CCA

Corn harvest started earlier than normal this year across Ohio with many farmers taking advantage of higher grain prices and hauling in high moisture corn. This is causing more producers to switch back and forth between corn and soybean harvest. Considerations for choosing fields to harvest aside from weather are both stalk and ear quality.

Foliar Diseases May Affect Stalk Strength and Quality

Author(s): Pierce Paul , Author(s): Peter Thomison

Causes of Stalk Rot: Several factors may contribute to stalk rot, including extreme weather conditions, inadequate fertilization, problems with nutrient uptake, insects, and diseases. This year, the combined effects of prevalent diseases such as northern corn leaf blight, southern rust, tar spot, and gray leaf spot may negatively affect stalk quality. However, the extent of the problem will depend on when these diseases develop and how badly the upper leaves of the plant are damaged.

Ohio Corn Harvest May Continue as a High Moisture Corn Harvest

Author(s): Elizabeth Hawkins , Author(s): Jason Hartschuh, CCA

When the calendar flipped from October to November the weather changed in a big way. Over the next 10 days, temperature predictions are highs in the 40’s and lows in the 20’s. These conditions make it much more difficult to field dry corn creating a need to send high moisture corn to the dryer.

2018 Ohio Corn Performance Test: Regional Overviews

Author(s): Rich Minyo , Author(s): Allen Geyer , Author(s): David Lohnes , Author(s): Peter Thomison

In 2018, 192 corn hybrids representing 24 commercial brands were evaluated in the Ohio Corn Performance Test (OCPT). Four tests were established in the Southwestern/West Central/Central (SW/WC/C) region and three tests were established in the Northwestern (NW) and North Central/Northeastern (NC/NE) regions (for a total of ten test sites statewide). Hybrid entries in the regional tests were planted in either an early or a full season maturity trial. These test sites provided a range of growing conditions and production environments.
