Well testing the same batch of corn thats how much it would vary. Corn was 90ยบ though last i used it. Maybe it would work better on cold corn.
I could never get it to give the same reading on a batch, you could dump and refill with the same corn and get a point difference
I have an older Dickey John, and it's plenty accurate for what I use it for- the same thing as the OP wants to do, plus testing dryer samples after cooling. I calibrate it every year with the elevator. They won't make temp corrections, though, like a higher end unit.
As far as the "not getting the same reading" part, that happens all the time with commercial testers, so that's a non-issue. I used to test and grade incoming grain at the co-op. When the state inspects the testers, they run their control sample through several times, and then average the results. |
Cheap Grain moisture tester?
