Protein tester

Any decent on farm machines that give a reasonably accurate wheat protein measurement?
we feed a lot of wheat to chickens and hoping to measure protein of wheat we feed in order to adjust other ingredients.

Without spending a lot of pennies I don’t think there is. You many be able to pick up an older machine second hand.

I had one last year when our Perten was away being repaired, It was very easy to use etc but I'm not convinced re the accuracy of result we had

There are very few farm scale machines that will do protein. The Grainsense uses a VERY small sample which I think means that you need to do lots of samples to get an accurate figure.
