This time of year we are always occupied with helping new customers to get the best from their Mecmar grain driers and usually reminding a few older ones what they should be doing too. A great many questions centre around the issue of drying temperatures. Setting the air temperature is a straightforward business but the process by which you relate the cereal temperature to the moisture content (mc) of a crop can be trickier.
One of the main pitfalls is the accurate measurement of crop moisture straight from the drier. HGCA research shows that moisture content variability is increased when measuring freshly harvested grain, even within well mixed samples. The research went on to find that poor operator practise could result in errors of Continue reading ‘Mobile batch grain driers and grain moisture testing’
