How far out is your moisture metre out this year.

get my moisture meter checked regularly with new crop grain never trust the calibration on old stored grain
then when out loading get a sample checked of actual grain we send
recalibrate moisture metre on a daily basis

helps having a properly checked grain lab within a mile
if they say it is 15 never get a claim

this year combined wheat has come in at 11.9 and 18% as tested at openfield
my moisture metre read between to low below 12.4 and and 18.9
every trailer load tested and recorded field store time and date
5 trailers loads amalgamated samples bagged and tested by openfield as a reference for quality moisture will be checked when dry and at out loading

we all need to be professional and then when a load gets allowances know the score and contest any deduction from a strong position
