“…Modern moisture meters measure dielectric properties and convert them to percentage moisture. Many corn properties affect its dielectric characteristics, among them temperature, bulk density, physical condition, variety (Nelson, 1984;Hemeda et al, 1982;Nelson, 1981), as well as some large and as yet unidentified factors (Hurburgh et al, 1985). Modern meters correct for temrperature and density; the other factors contribute to measurement variability.…”
