Grain moisture meters work based on the principle that the electrical conductivity of a grain sample changes with its moisture content. As the moisture in the grain increases, its electrical conductivity increases as well. The meter measures this electrical conductivity and uses calibration curves specific to the type of grain being tested to determine the moisture content.

Grain moisture meters are widely used by farmers, grain traders, and agricultural professionals to make informed decisions about harvesting, drying, and storage practices. By regularly monitoring the moisture levels in grains, they can optimize harvest timing and implement appropriate drying and storage methods to preserve the quality and value of the crops.

It’s important to note that different types of grains and seeds may have different moisture measurement requirements. Therefore, it’s essential to choose a grain moisture meter suitable for the specific grains or agricultural products you are working with.
