Corn test weights and quality

Our corn quality is exceptional this year...the test weight is 56-58 and some is as dry at 17% moisture.  What is everyone else getting...nice to have a year like this.

Hi,

These feelings encourage that a belief that high test weight grain is associated with high grain yields (lbs. of dry matter per acre) and vice versa or many quality crops . However, there is little evidence in the research literature that corn test weight is strongly correlated with grain yield or quality grains
