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 (under GRAIN key)

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
