Kernel moisture variation with location on the ear in hybrid, yellow-dent field corn, Zea mays L., was measured by individual kernel oven moisture content determination as ears dried during the harvest season. Differences in kernel moisture content (m.c.) at three locations on the ear, i.e., near the butt end, at the mid-section, and near the tip, were highly significant, with m.c. highest at the butt and decreasing toward the tip. Butt-to-tip kernel m.c. differences were small at high moisture levels (35 to 40 m.c., wet basis), but reached a maximum, which averaged about 6 m.c., at 24 m.c. for the ear. As the ears dried to safe storage moisture
