Calculating Dry
Bushels The monitor uses the following equation to calculate dry bushels :
Wdg = (1-Mwg/100) x Wwg
(1-Mdg/100)
Wdg = Weight (lbs) of Dry Grain
Wwg = Weight (lbs) of Wet Grain
Mwg = Moisture content of Wet Grain
Mdg = Dry% moisture
Example:
Wdg = ? Wwg = 150,000 lbs
Mwg = 25%, Mdg = 15.5%
Grain type = corn Dry lbs/bu = 56
(1-25/100) x 150,000 = 133,136 lbs dry grain weight
(1-15.5/100)
Wet Bushels = 150,000/56 = 2,679 bushels
Dry Bushels = 133,136/56 = 2,377 bushels
Shrink Factor The shrink factor the monitor uses depends on the Dry% moisture you have
set in the monitor
.
Shrink factor = 1
