Moisture meters for grain and hay
Moisture meters take the guesswork out of grain and hay preservation.
Making sure you have accurate moisture readings for your crops gives you the peace of mind that you are using the right product at the right rate to get the results you need, without costly and wasteful over-application – but it is something which is often left to chance.
Our specially calibrated version of the Wile 55 whole grain moisture meter is unique in its ability to accurately test all commonly grown cereals and pulses down to 50% moisture. The Wile 25 hay moisture meter can be fitted with a loose hay probe or bale spike to check hay moisture before and after baling. Both are quick and simple to use, so why take the risk without one?

As the drive to reduce single-use plastic continues apace, farmers are increasingly seeking alternatives to wrapping their baled forage.
Growing numbers are turning to high moisture hay, which can be now treated with the modern preservative, BaleSafe, at the time of baling.
Ditching the plastic wrap
Kelvin Cave Ltd has been informed that plastic manufacturers are expecting significant price rises which are likely to affect the cost of bale wrap this season.
This highlights the benefits of treating moist hay and haylage with a preservative, which, at many moisture contents, can be used instead of plastic wrap.
