An annual report by the US Grains Council reveals favorable growing season conditions allowed the quality of this year’s corn crop to exceed the five-year average.
The 2020/2021 Corn Harvest Quality Report unveiled higher average test weights at 58.7 pounds per bushel, lower average moisture content at 15.8% and lower total damage in comparison to 2019 and the previous five years. Data also indicated higher protein concentration, lower starch and oil concentration, and lower kernel volume on average.
