North Dakota Grain Dealers Association Executive Vice-President Stu Letcher says when it comes time to harvest corn, quality could challenge grain elevators and available markets. “Crop uncertainty is the biggest concern.” Even if the corn makes it across the finish line, Letcher says elevators will be wary of light test weights. This challenges what can be done with the crop. Letcher says drying high moisture corn can also impact foreign material and potentially damage the crop through handling. “Elevators are also trying to determine how much propane they’ll need. They may need a lot or if something happens with the crop, we may not need much propane. It remains to be seen at this time.”
