It’s hard to believe, but it’s already time for burn-down days! For those that may not know, burn-down days gives growers an opportunity to bring in a sample (usually 3-4 stalks) of corn for moisture testing. The stalks are chopped up and and loaded into an NIR (near-infrared) machine to measure their moisture. This information helps growers determine the best time to harvest their crops. Interested in participating? Here are the dates for the Centra Sota Country Stores burn-down events!
