If you can blow air on the corn, it will be fine at those moisture conditions at the temps we have now. If you blow air, let the cold front get all the way through the bin, don't stop too early. You might not have to blow air at all, just watch it & if you notice hot spot, crust on top, odors, etc. then get on it.
If you can't blow air on the corn, it likely will be ok probably until May. Most of the time. Certainly something to watch tho, and check every week - mostly with your nose - and be prepared to move the corn if it were to go south. But - it should work out. Watch it & have a plan.
I had one brand of corn go 13% moisture; most was 15-16%, and the stuff I planted after tiling this spring held steady at 16-17%. Very few people here started a dry this year - southern MN. That is extremely unusual.
In my case I'll put 16% in my small bin, and feed a little bit out of it every week over winter. It has no air; but checking it every week, and getting some corn moving a bit in it should prevent any problems from happening. The cold climate helps us with storing corn a bit above moisture goals. But it is something to keep track of.
