Title

The moisture content of grain harvested by combine 1948 and 1949

Description

This Technical Memorandum of the British Society for Research in Agricultural Engineering is a brief enquiry into the moisture content of grain harvested by combine to determine the propirtion of grain that needed drying, based on a sample four Bedfordshire farms’ output in 1948. In 1949 a similar enquiry was made of two of these farms, plus three other farms. Information is arranged under these headings:- The Farms; Sampling Procedure; Testing; Quantities; Weather Records; Results; Table I: Percentage weight of grain harvested at different moisture contents; Table II: Percentage weight of grain requiting drying; Table IIIA: Percentage weight of grain harvested at each farm; Table IIIB: Percentage weight of grain harvested at each farm; [chart] The moisture content of grain harvested by combine
