Current Weight loss/drying charges from Frontier etc

[chaffcutter]

Has anyone got the current information for this season from Frontier or any other merchant please?

The thread with various answers gives a bit too wide a result between suggestions!

We use the standard AHDB moisture loss, which is 1.25% of weight per 1% of drying.

There is a calculator:

https://cereals.ahdb.org.uk/tools/agronomy-calculators/grain-moisture.aspx

It shows a 46.5kg weight loss when drying 1000kg from 18% down to 14%

Thanks all, learn something more every day.

Hutchinsons have an app which is excellent and absolutely bang on, used it a fair few times when I was drying, weigh corn and moisture test, dry it, moisture test again and the weight would be within kilo’s with Hutchinson’s compared with the second weighbridge.
