Check your bins

[LEP]

Do you find the moisture cables to be accurate when compared to the grain terminal?

Depends which terminal. Richardson is very close and Viterra is .5% higher than the cables. Noticed in 2016 at very high moisture they were more accurate than my 919 or the elevators.

That’s impressive accuracy.
Moisture cables would be helpful when drying with supplemental heat.

They are worth every penny imo.

I installed a couple moisture cables last year for drying with heat. What I am finding is that the moisture reading is accurate before applying heat, and after cooling, but while applying heat, they continue to read much higher than actual. So I am no wiser as to when to stop applying heat. Any thoughts?

I have a dryer so I don't heat the bins to dry. I just know that I can rely on them in the wet bin to be accurate even up to 25% durum and 14% canola

They sound like a very worthwhile investment if the accuracy is there at damp conditions.
(I only have temperature cables so wasn’t sure.)
