ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for testing shelled corn in a combine storage tank during harvesting includes a plurality of charged electrodes each in the form of an elongated rod arranged in a spaced manner and positioned in a lower portion of the combine storage tank to be completely encompassed by the shelled corn. The electrodes are coupled to a moisture meter located in the combine cab allowing the operator to determine the moisture content of the corn crop at harvest. The moisture meter is easily disconnected from the electrodes and removed from the combine to permit moisture testing of corn kernels while still on the cob prior to harvest.
