    Grain dryer moisture sensor

    Anyone fitted an aftermarket moisture sensor to their grain dryer? Or a recommendation for a basic system. Our current dryer just works on grain temp then have to keep sampling the batch, trouble is air temp and moisture content means it’s a constant juggling act! Thanks
