[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 4596446, member: 461"] Take an armful of freshly cut grass. Try to remember how heavy it feels. Take another armful when you think it's ready to bale. If it weighs about half of what you remember the first armful felt, it might be about 40%DM. Or it might not, depending on how good your memory is. But if you really want to be accurate, buy a wood moisture metre for up to £20 or which you get free with a wood-burning stove. Test it on your skin, a lump of wood, a sample of grain, one of last year's straw bales etc until you have an accurate calibration. [/QUOTE]
