A meter for quick moisture checks on grain and seeds, best suited to testing in the field. Fill the cup, screw the cap down, and read the result.
Take at least five samples, remove green and odd grains, and use the average. Each grain scale can be adjusted by up to 4% in 0.1% steps. Check your meter's readings against an oven test for the grain you're handling before harvest, as growing conditions and new varieties can change readings. It's most accurate when the meter and grain are between 16 and 32 °C.
Clean it with a damp or dry cloth, no detergents. Keep it dry, ideally at room temperature, and take out the battery if it won't be used for a while.
