Book excerpt: Excerpt from Losses From Quality Deterioration and Shrinkage for Corn Resealed on Iowa Farms A loss of 1. 5 cents a bushel in market value1 of corn stored in farm bins under a reseal program was attributed to deterioration in quality and shrinkage from moisture loss during a period of about 20 months. The extent of the loss in value from these causes during the time the corn was stored under a governmental extended - loan program was determined in a study of Iowa farms resealing corn from the 1952 crop. The storage period commenced in the late fall of 1953 when the corn was resealed and extended until all corn was removed from the storage bins.
