    For a neighbor, question on harvesting corn

    combine it definetly that corn if dry 15percent will last a year easy . then they can supplement it to what needs it or back ground some calves next fall . if there is a feed store close they could put it in a grain bank. or it is worth 4.50 a bushel some extra spending money which anyone can use.
