Moisture Meter Clinics

[Woldgrain Storage]

Do most growers attend a moisture meter day somewhere or just use bought standardised samples?

Does every farm assurance scheme ask for a certificate for each moisture meter?


Our moisture meter clinic is tomorrow, open to members and non-members (for the first time).

Tea & biscuits will be available throughout the day (8am-4pm) and tours of the store will be given on request.

Our postcode is DN21 5TU.

As I am all CS I only use mine for knowing when to cut I got mine old mini marconi checked a few years ago and despite being 24 years old was spot on unlike some of the new fancy ones bring done the same time, the chap doing them just smiled . never been a problem when I have my inspection though,

Do you take yours to WG? I'm usually not around that day, so end up buying the biscuits then go & chat Claire up while I do mine myself. I've given up sending my non Marconi meters away for servicing as they don't hold a calibration any longer & I pay a hundred quid for a new battery & a certficate. I sent my Marconi to Dr Egleton 6 months ago for fixing & fitting a mains conversion kit & he still hasn't done it

Yes done it twice,once donkey years ago and around three years ago and it was spot on, as you say it is always on a day I cant go,makes no odds to me as its only a combining guide

I went to one on Tuesday, and only the wheat setting needed redoing.
I happened to have the paperwork from last year in the box, and it was reset back to what it was before that.
I've spent the last year with it slightly out because of last years clinic!

I couldnt make the Wilts Grain day so am going to hants grain in July not a member of either but do use Openfield. Dr Egleton has had my marconi for 2 years now. I chase him every now and then but on the point of thinking I am not going to see it again

There's no hope for me then! Perhaps I should make an appointment to go & collect it before the old boy pops his clogs?

 

[Gone Shooting]

Yep Frontier today - also snaffled 2 baseball hats , 2 bobble hats ( without bobbles ) 2 straw hats ( ones a prezzy for the wife ! ) notepads , pens , a rainguage and hogroast - very generous down here and to make the day even better one of the visiting chemical guys was at Writtle with me along time ago.

Have you spent the same time as I have on the phone with him. He is a very interesting chap but I just cant get him to stop talking. I darent tell him my father in law worked for Marconi.
You could always pick up my machine

Likewise. I have little doubt as to his ability to fix the machines, but major doubts as to whether he will ever do mine... I'll have to see if I can spare a day to drive to Lincs & back before harvest! If I can get any sense out of him I'll PM you.

Went to the Frontier clinic today, didn't have a rye grass sample though so we'll just have to guess that

My daughter is working at the open day and never told me about half of those freebies. Perhaps she's stashing them for Christmas.

Did ours yesterday, hog roast, beer and a few tractors to look at. All for a donation to RABI.

What time were you there? We went 5 till 7 plenty of people about. How much rape was at the back of the shed?
