1/ If the sample weight is too small or too dry for a moisture test, follow the procedures on the back of this form to complete the moisture test.
Bag sample for United Soybean Board

FORM C-2: SOYBEANS - continued

If the sample weight is too small for moisture test, sufficient grains of known moisture content (use same class and stage of maturity) will be added to the sample so that a moisture test can be made. The moisture content of the sample can then be derived using the following formula:
	E =	( A + B ) D - ( B x C)
		A

Where	A = Weight of small or dry soybean sample . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .		. ___ ___	Grams
	B = Weight of additional beans required for moisture test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .		. ___ ___	Grams
	C = Moisture percent of B . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .		. ____	Percent
	D = Moisture percent of A + B combined . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .		. ____	Percent
	E = Result : Moisture percent of small or dry soybean sample (enter in item 7) . . . .		. ____	Percent
