Corn will draw moisture. Farmers dry their corn when it's taken from field, then store in moisture tight metal storage buildings to keep the moisture content as low as possible. Keep the lids on the barrels as tightly as you can, especially if you live an area of high humidity.

Corn definitely will draw moisture. Corn for stoves is dried, it will swell from moisture in the air.
