[QUOTE="millstreaminn, post: 1059015, member: 4844"] How can I tell when my ear corn is dry enough to pick so it will keep in my crib? The first year I picked it too early and got a bit of mold on it, last year I picked it too late and the birds and deer ate most of it in the field. Short of a moisture meter, I read somewhere where you can weigh a few ears then dry them in a cool oven and reweigh to get the moisture percent. Any better ways, and at what percent will cobb corn keep in a crib? I have a neighbor that grows a bit of corn, but I have too much pride to ask him! :D ;-) [/QUOTE]
