No, the land is leased to a big farmer who, I assume has just been waiting

Winter is so dry here that it does fine just standing there, except for the
constant pilfering by the coons and deer.

More often than not, earlier in the season the water content was too high so the corn
grain couldn't be stored without running it through a drier. Letting it stand until
after it has been frozen for awhile dries it out enough. The downside of waiting is
higher loss due to lodging and as Deke says, pilfering by the critters. This is not an
unusual thing at all especially where the growing season is short. His corn was
probably not planted until late May to mid June so it didn't mature soon enough to dry
in the field sufficiently. Cold weather means low humidity and drying is accomplished
well.
