Corn moisture chart
The initial percent dry matter content depends on the initial grain moisture content. For example, if the initial grain moisture content is 20%, then the initial percent dry matter content is 80% (e.g., 100% - 20%). If the desired ending grain moisture content is 15% (the typical market standard), Grain weight and volume conversion table and chart: weights per bushel, weights of grain by volume, moisture conversion and planting rates: contents: 1.

A corn moisture adjustment chart is in exhibit 23. Moisture adjustment results in a reduction in PTC of 0.12 percent for each 0.1 percent. moisture in excess of 15 percent through 30 percent and 0.2 percent reduction for each. 0.1 percent above 30 percent. Our first example involves 1,000 lb. of corn at 25% moisture. If the grain is 25% water, it will contain 250 lb. of water and 750 lb. of dry matter. How much shrinkage occurs, due to water loss alone, if the 1,000 lb. of grain is dried to 15.5% moisture? We can calculate it. The dried corn still contains 750 lb. of dry matter, The initial percent dry matter content depends on the initial grain moisture content. For example, if the initial grain moisture content is 20%, then the initial percent dry matter content is 80% (e.g., 100% - 20%).

Moisture and pack adjustment factors for corn, soybean, barley, grain sorghum, and wheat from RMA's individual crop Loss
The simple weight loss due to the removal of grain moisture represents the greatest percentage of the total grain weight shrinkage due to drying and is easily The weight reduction as grain is dried is referred to as "moisture shrink." Moisture shrink can be determined by multiplying a moisture shrink factor by the change
Moisture adjustment is applied prior to applying any qualifying quality adjustment factors such as test weight, kernel damage, etc. Corn Moisture adjustment results in a reduction in production to count of 0.12 percent for each 0.1 percent moisture in excess of 15 percent through 30 percent and 0.2 percent reduction for each 0.1 percent above 30 percent.
The simple weight loss due to the removal of grain moisture represents the greatest percentage of the total grain weight shrinkage due to drying and is easily The weight reduction as grain is dried is referred to as "moisture shrink." Moisture shrink can be determined by multiplying a moisture shrink factor by the change The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) tables and the psychrometric charts will be used as tools throughout this fact sheet.

If no there were no other factors to consider this chart shows that growers would always try to harvest corn at exactly 15.5% moisture. Note that drying costs increase below 15.5%. The reason this is calculated is to show the substantial costs of continuing to dry corn below the 15.5% target moisture.
