ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for determining the moisture content of grain to be harvested comprising the steps of reaping grain from grain bearing plants, threshing grain from the grain bearing plant, collecting the threshed grain in a hopper, and sensing the moisture content of the threshed grain prior to collection of the grain in the hopper.
