# Corn below PLN 500 in some places, and farmers are told: wait 10 days to harvest. Why?

> Wet corn prices in some Polish buying points fell to around PLN 500/t, and moisture deductions could reduce farmers’ net returns further. Propane supply difficulties have led some dryers and buyers to pause intake; advisers discussed delaying harvest by up to 10 days, while noting the choice depends on local conditions and potential field losses.

## Why it matters

Harvest pressure is lowering corn bids, while drying-fuel shortages restrict buyers’ ability to accept wet grain. A harvest delay could ease immediate delivery pressure, but it carries crop-loss risk and does not resolve the near-term drying bottleneck.
