What is the best method to dry the seeds? At what point do you remove them from the head. I still haven't pulled the plants so they are drying outside now but am going to cut them today. a lot of rain is heading our way.

If its time, then I would remove them from the head right away. Then leave them sitting out on a plate or baking sheet for a couple of weeks for additional drying. I've had mold/fungus develop sometimes when I've brought them in to dry, but left them on the head.

I aways left them on the cob for a while, like at least till Christmas. Then I spread them out on a towel or old screen and put them. in the house where was the least amount of moisture was till spring.
