When is the corn finally harvested?

Ofcourse to check the moisture tester for accuracy you have to take the corn sample to the elevator and compare readings anyway... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The link that I provided is for the company that makes the testers for USDA and the ones used at elevators.

They still have to be calibrated with a current USDA tested and stamped moisture tester to insure accuracy, they usually don't come out of the box or closet after a year dead on. Easiest thing to do when drying corn to avoid getting docked later is checking your tester against the elevator you're selling to.

I don't think I would buy a tester if I was going to use the corn to heat with. Just my 2 cents
