Just looking to see if any corn burners here. If so where are you getting corn. What are you using to Rapidly Oxidize it?
Any fellow corn burners here?

How come nobody told me I was suppose to Rapidly Oxidize my corn first.....what the heck is that?? And here all I've been doing is to get it out of the bin and dumpin' it in the hopper.

Transitioning this week as pellets no longer the cheaper option. Surrounded by corn but nearby farmers selling ear corn. Purchased from elevator and oxidizing in a bixby.
Love to burn corn here but we have Farmers that have been groing burn corn for some time. Yes there is a difference burn corn from feed corn.
1.) using medium size kernals
2.) slow dry to around 12% with the heat less than 100 degrees.
3.) double sifted before bagging.
Price is $225 a ton to $275.
Does help a lot.

I am 4 tonne into this season so far with a Countryside Magnum insert.
Local feed mill supplied the last 2 tonne, a local Dairy farmer the first 2 tonne.
Definitely screen it 2-3x. I have almost 3 bags of "chop" to start my pasture calves on this Spring.
