[QUOTE="dcara, post: 389745, member: 473"] I use my microwave oven in the dry down ratio test. When collecting your samples get them from the same microenvironment. That is, don't mix samples from an open field environment with samples from a shaded environment such as along a tree line since the shaded areas will still be a few points higher in moisture content for maybe up to a week than the open field areas, depending on weather of course. I had two 5x5 round bales from a tree line with core temps around 107 degrees 10 days after bailing a few weeks ago. The rest of the open field bales were only running about 10 degrees above ambient, or about 88 degrees. [/QUOTE]
