Slightly damp scratch corn

[HopCo Chickens]

My newest bad of cracked scratch corn has picked up a little moisture from my storage closet. I noticed a slightly sweet aroma emitting from the bag so I investigated to find several clumps of corn. There doesn't appear to be any mold or parasites just the smell. Can I dry this bad in our gas stove and continue to feed it to our flock.



Kind Regards,
