AVERAGE 72.2
Note: Whole plant moisture drops an average of 0.5 percentage units per day
Example: For corn at 72% moisture to dry down to 65% moisture, it would need about 14 more days (7 points divided by 0.5). Environmental conditions such as above normal rainfall or dry soil conditions can alter this dry down rate.
