Subject: Re: Moisture tester


I have an older Dickey John - not a MiniGAC. I agree - I like to take 3 readings for each sample, recognizing that I most likely will not get 3 identical readings.  If I get 3 consistant readings, I am happy.  I will also say that anytime I take a sample to a mill to have moisture measured on a certified scale, they only read it once.  Knowing what I encounter with my hand-held, I wonder if the mills realize that if they read the sample 3 times, they may not get the same reading each time.  And THAT would destroy farmer confidence in the readings.  So, they just make one reading......  Hmmmmm......

 

Husker, since you have MiniGac's,  I am curious:  how high can the corn moisture be and still get a consistent reading with a mini-Gac?  I have need to run samples as high as 35%.  I find that the higher the moisture, the harder it is to get consistent readings.  What do you find with the mini-GAC?
