Calculate grain moisture deductions, moisture shrink, drying charges, net bushels, deduction value, gross crop value, and net crop payment. Use this moisture deduction calculator for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, rice, and other grain delivered above target moisture.
Moisture points:
The calculator subtracts target moisture from current moisture to estimate points above the dry or delivery target.
Moisture shrink:
Moisture shrink can be estimated using the dry matter formula or a fixed shrink factor per moisture point.
Drying and moisture charges:
Drying charges and moisture discounts are applied by moisture point and bushel.
Net payment:
Net bushels are multiplied by adjusted price, then moisture deductions and fees are subtracted.
A moisture deduction calculator helps estimate how grain moisture affects payable bushels, drying charges, crop value, and final settlement.
It can help compare gross bushels, moisture points, shrink bushels, drying charges, moisture discounts, fees, net bushels, gross value, and net payment.
Your result shows estimated moisture points, moisture shrink bushels, additional shrink, net bushels, drying charge, moisture discount, handling fee, storage fee, shrink value loss, total moisture deduction, gross crop value, and net payment. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
A moisture deduction is a reduction in crop payment for grain delivered above the target moisture. It can include shrink, drying charges, moisture discounts, and handling fees.
Subtract target moisture from current moisture. For example, 18% grain delivered to a 15% target has 3 moisture points.
Moisture shrink lowers the number of payable bushels because drying removes water weight from the grain.
Elevators may use different drying charges, shrink factors, moisture discount tables, storage fees, and settlement rules.
