What should the moisture content of maize be at harvest?

Determining the right moisture content for maize at harvest is crucial for quality and storage. Ideally, maize should be harvested when moisture levels are between 15-20%. The moisture content of your maize at harvest depends on multiple factors, like maize variety, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, and the specific growing conditions of the season. Harvesting at the optimal levels helps in reducing drying costs and potential damage to the kernels.
