Estimating the Cost for Drying Corn

(2014)

Summary

Climate conditions in the upper Midwest states make it necessary for most of the corn harvested for grain there to be dried artificially, to some extent. The cost of drying corn grain will depend on the type and size of drying system utilized, the amount of moisture to be removed, the weather conditions during the drying period, and the current per unit costs for electricity and drying fuel.
