northern IL | I opened up a corn field tonight and it was so wet that the chopper barely got it over the beaters. So I took a sample to the house to microwave . I started with a
9.15 oz sample 3 minutes on high
7.91 oz another 2 minutes
6.8 oz another 2 minutes
5.6oz Another 2 minutes
4.65oz Another 2minutes
3.8oz another 2 minutes
2.85 oz and it was smoking dry
So I divided 2.85 by 9.15 and I got 31% dry matter or 69% moisture . Did I do this right? because it seemed wetter than 69% . No dent and green all the way to the ground on the stalk. | |
