What should the moisture content of maize be at harvest?
Determining the right moisture content for maize at harvest is crucial for quality and storage. Ideally, maize should be harvested when moisture levels are between 15-20%. The moisture content of your maize at harvest depends on multiple factors, like maize variety, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, and the specific growing conditions of the season. Harvesting at the optimal levels helps in reducing drying costs and potential damage to the kernels.
With AgroLog’s Moisture Meters, you can accurately measure the moisture content of your maize, ensuring that you harvest at the optimal time. These meters are essential tools for achieving the best storage conditions and maintaining the quality of your maize.
Portable Moisture Analyzers: How to Ensure a Farmer’s Success
Success in grain farming relies on precision, quality control, and timely decisions. Managing moisture effectively is one of the most important steps in preserving crop value. Portable moisture analyzers are key tools that support grain quality, safety, and overall profitability.
Fast, Accurate Readings Wherever You Are
AgroLog’s grain moisture testers give farmers instant, reliable results from just a small sample. Whether you're in the field or at the grain bin, these handheld devices deliver quick feedback on moisture levels, allowing you to make informed decisions on drying, storing, or moving your grain.
Combined Moisture and Temperature Monitoring
AgroLog’s moisture meters also function as grain temperature probes, because they allow you to measure both moisture and temperature with a single device. Since heat and moisture are key contributors to spoilage, combining these readings helps you manage risk and improve grain storage outcomes.
Built for the Field
AgroLog’s grain moisture sensors are calibrated for multiple crop types, including corn, wheat, barley, and soybeans. Their durable, rugged design makes them resistant to damage and they are ideal for frequent use during harvest or when checking grain in silos.
