Grain Gauges in the Agriculture Industry
What Are Grain Gauges?
A grain gauge is an agricultural device used to measure grain while it is in a grain bin, including grain temperatures, moisture content, and grain bin levels.
How are Grain Gauges Used?
Grain gauges are placed on the outside of grain bins to measure the contents of grain bins. The grain gauge is placed through a small opening in the grain bin. The indicator portion of the gauge remains on the outside while the monitor portion is inserted in the hole. Grain gauges measure grain like temperature gauges measure temperature or how rain gauges measure rain.
Why Are Grain Gauges Used?
Grain gauges are used for ease to understand what is going on in the grain bin. Grain gauges provide instant readings related to the content of grain bins. Rather than having to climb up the grain bin and look into the bin to see the levels, grain gauges indicate the level from the outside on the ground.
How do Grain Gauges Impact Safety?
Without the use of grain gauges, farmers are required to climb ladders or stairs to visually inspect grain bin levels. Unfortunately falls are common. Grain gauges keep farmers' feet on the ground and safe from falls. Farmers can look up and see if the granular material in the bin is above or below the installed grain gauges.
