Grain and hay quality is profoundly affected by moisture content. High moisture, especially when paired with high temperatures, increases the risk of mould, mycotoxins, and insect infestation. Therefore, monitoring the moisture content within hay, grains, straw, pulses, and oilseeds is essential for growers, buyers, and processors in the agricultural industry.
To help you find the best grain or hay moisture meter for harvesting season, our scientists have compiled a list of the top grain and hay moisture meters currently available at Instrument Choice.
