The Insight is set up for 56 pound corn. Lots of corn is light around here this year. Set the Insight for what the corn is running for test weight. Lots of things to setup to make the "bushels" come out but set the wet weights first.
my Insight in the red thing in the pic here is under 1% +/- on semi load wet weight.
Same with beans. 60 lbs. Who has 60 lbs soybeans??
You are incorrect. You want to set the monitor for whatever test weight the elevator is using, the standard is 56lb corn and 60lb soybeans. Even if you only have 50lb testweight corn, the elevator is only going to pay you for a bushel for each 56lbs that you deliver. If you set the testweight down in the monitor, it may look better to you as you harvest but you will be disappointed when you add up all of your scale tickets.
