Corn is physiologically mature (R6) or nearly so in many areas of Iowa for early planted corn. Corn that is mature will have a “black layer” that appears at the base of the kernel. The appearance of this black layer designates the end of dry matter accumulation. Although corn is harvested at high grain moistures for silage and seed corn, ideal harvest moistures for field corn range from 15 to 20%.
