All other factors being equal, is the sales price for corn different between dried and undried corn?

In reality? Depends on how you define the price.

The basic price would be the same. You will just get docked for delivering corn with moisture content being too high.
Each grain/crop has a specific maximum moisture content allowed for safe storage. If you deliver with higher content, they will charge you for the needed drying. Depending on your local climate and the size of your operation, your own dryer can be cheaper and will allow you to store your grain on your own.

^this. Depending on who you’re selling to they have a moisture range with different deductions per range. Generally they have a maximum where they won’t take it. Corn drying is the common one you hear of because of its long growing season and the nature of the plant.
