Chapter 1 | Introduction - DRAMINSKI MOISTURE METER Manual De Uso

Controlling moisture content in hay and straw is very
important for several reasons.
It is absolutely essential for obtaining high quality hay,
for safer storage and prevention of damage to col-
lected crops, as too high moisture content causes fun-
gal attacks or rot.
Knowing moisture content is a valuable help while
buying and selling forage, as moisture is the major
factor affecting quality of crops and in consequence
its value and price.
