[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1137327, member: 19817"] Neither, I use a scale and the microwave to do an "oven dry" method. Its one of the most accurate way to measure the moisture content of something. Takes a little bit of extra time but I know exactly what the hay is at so I can bale and sell with confidence in the moisture %. Well I guess I do the "twist test" a little first to see if the hay is close to dry and then once I think its close I fire up the microwave. [/QUOTE]
