Grain Moisture

July 2, 2024

We are grateful for the testing, updating and sharing of the new tables by the Canadian Grain Commission: Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat & Eastern Red Spring Wheat. New calculations are used to determine dry ranges for them. We have also updated one of the links since it changed.

One very tiny improvement in this version: to ensure that all of the sample size information was available on the Favourites screen. When previous version was used, it was noted that it cut off some useful information from viewing

After uploading the new and easier to read screens, as well as the updates from CGC, we realized that the keyboard did not dismiss after entering data on the Favourites screen. This version fixes that, and provides additional information on the Contact screen.

This version updates charts for two grains with changes provided by The Canadian Grain Commission: Eastern Hard Red Winter & Northern Hard Red Winter. It also cleans up the user screens to make them easier to read: thanks to our supporters for feedback!

Thanks to an observant customer who kindly contacted us directly about a concern - we have fixed an issue where the temperature and meter entries were "flipped", which resulted in inaccurate calculations. We are grateful for great people like this who contact us directly if there are any concerns or issues, so that we can do our best to make this app as user friendly and useful as possible. In addition to this, the screen for selecting favourites has also been tidied up.

Updates for 2022 include changes to the Rye and Barley (>52 kg/hl) made by Grains Canada (CGC). The user interface (your screen experience) was also adjusted to allow for different devices to better fit/adjust the content viewing and use.

This version allows for estimates to be made outside of the CGC chart values, as requested by farmers

July 1, 2021

Updates to: Soft White Spring Wheat, Western Soft White Spring Wheat, Western Red Spring Wheat (aka: Hard Red Spring Wheat, >=66 kg/hL), and Canadian Prairie Spring Wheat - Red and White. There is also an update for Canary Seed and it is now an official grain (under CGC). One correction was made to the meter calibration to use for lightweight oats.

This version updates the following charts from CGC: Chickpeas; Amber Durum & Prairie Spring Wheats. Please note: as per CGC instruction, these particular charts do not allow extrapolation beyond chart values. Also included in this update is an independently derived equation to allow for calculating millet moisture (new addition to this app). Please consult with buyer regarding their moisture requirements. Finally - also did some minor house keeping here and there.

July 4, 2019

This version has updates to two grains: Pea Beans & Eastern White Winter Wheat. The resource links were also updated, due to website change by CGC - this affected 5 links for the online resources.
