If your storage racks are subject to direct sunlight or strong wind movement you might get reduced defects from too rapid drying by draping some thick old sheets or covers over some of the logs, (not plastic it needs to breathe) basically cocooning them in a micro climate where the surrounding air is the same humidity. Indoors drying smaller pieces in thick multi layer paper potato sacks is often advantageous.
In large old-school sheltered stores it's not uncommon to place the better specimens of timber in the bottom and back of the stacks to slow the drying rate down in a more even atmosphere.
