    Which hand held grain moisture meter?

    Currently got a Sinar Agripro 6095, and to be polite, it's results can be variable. Just put a new battery in, sampling at exactly same place in heap, just 5 mins difference and the results can be 2% out. Can trust it, so any recs? Must be portable, not keen on those Prontimeter grinder ones

    Removing warm air from grain store?

    How do you remove warm air from your grainstore/s that is being sucked out of stored grain by pedestal fans? Do you just have large vents at eaves height in say every other bay and at both ends? Or do you have large fans on the vents to suck /push the warm outside? Store size in question up to...

    Improving grain cooling

    Looking for ideas on how to cool grain - something we need to get better at. We currently use pedesatals, but with a shed width of 33' per side, they're a bit wide for one but too narrow for two. Arguably more fans and auto controls would help improve things and is an option worth considering...

As these come with specific criteria which we need to meet. The control system is easy enough but the awkward part is it needs to be accessed by a mobile...

    How far out is your moisture metre out this year.

    Mine went away to martin lishman for calibration. Come back .01% out on barley. Loaded a lorry at 5pm. The barley had been in the shed around a hour. Next day I get claims for 15.2% when everyone is cutting wheat at 14%. So I take my sample to the local store just to check. And they make 13%...

    Moisture meter service

    Got a protimeter 900 that needs a check over. Gives me different readings every time for the same sample and I don't think I can trust it any longer. I sent it back to protimeter years ago for a service but I can't find their contact details anywhere now . They must still be going aren't they...
