Chebanse, IL.....

OK-

Standing @ attention-heels locked-eyes straight ahead-thumbs tucked in index finger 2nd joint-cap 1" above eyebrow-etc-etc

I do think we value calibration as much as anyone. If it's capable of 0.001%, I'd like that. I don't normally tolerate "good enough" when I have a choice.

So-when do you calibrate? Right away? Later? We start combining beans @ 14-15%. Later in season they're down to 10% easily sometimes. Corn starts @ 20-21%. Later in season we're down to 14% often. 20%+ corn combines slow. 14% is about as fast as you can go (in NE IL anyway, not MT). So-when would you REcalibrate?

What do you do if after 2-3-500-1000 acres you see a sizable change in either moisture (1% or more?) or flow (weight off by 5% or more)?

Then what? These are questions that bug me slightly. I realize it's possible to cal @ the bginning & never look back...but I don't think that is making best utilization of the technology. But then again-how much is TOO much?

Thanks
