Death comes to us all. Life's but a walking shadow
If you had delivered 56 lbs of grain at 15% moisture you delivered 8.4 lb of water& 47.6 lbs of dry grain. If you deliver 56 lbs of grain @ 15.4% moisture you've delivered 8.624 lbs of water & 47.376 lbs of grain. 47.376/47.6 is only 99.53% of the expected dry grain so you're 0.47% short. Let's say you sold that corn for $3.80/bu. Then they should have docked 1.8 cents to account for the missing dry grain ($3.80 x .9953 =$ .0179).
Our local ethanol plant just deducts the extra water and will take grain up to 18% moisture but boy, it better not be any higher than that.
