Abstract: The hot humid climate and market conditions in the coastal plains introduce factors which influence harvesting and marketing strategies for corn. The return to investments in drying equipment is influenced by stochastic weather and price conditions. An appraisal of drying equipment investments for varying scales and cultural practices is made using simulation modeling and stochastic efficiency analysis.
