Ag-IQ Handheld moisture meter

Designed to help growers manage the moisture content of their almonds.

It can firstly, be used to track the moisture content of almonds on a tree to help determine when to shake.

It can secondly, be used for almonds on the ground to monitor drying progress. Decisions can be made on when to sweep and whether to condition the almonds to help speed up drying.

Finally, it can be used to check moisture content before picking up to ensure the harvested almonds are below the required moisture limit. This can save the expense of later drying costs imposed by the huller and sheller.
