Regularly testing the moisture content of your yields is crucial for a number of reasons:

  • Excess moisture in stored grain or forage can lead to the growth of mold fungi.
  • Nutrients can be lost when crops are ensiled with excess moisture, as the weep or drain-off contains valuable nutrients.
  • Harvesting hay with too low of a moisture content can result in heavy leaf drop-off, which reduces the feeding value of the crop.
  • Forage with moisture content between 30% and 40% can lead to storage combustion, potentially destroying both the forage and the storage structure.
  • Ensiling process, a crucial step for crop fermentation, requires moisture content to be within a specific range for optimal results.
  • Knowing the moisture content of your crops ensures that they are stored and used at the correct moisture level, resulting in better yields and higher-quality crops.

The Koster Moisture Tester Platinum Series provides you with an essential tool in any crop production operation, and with its easy-to-use design, accurate readings and durable construction, it makes moisture testing simple and efficient.
