If sample weight is too small for moisture test, sufficient grains of known
moisture content 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:
(A+B)D - (Bx
C)
E=
A

Where A = Weight of small corn sample (item 7 & 8) ...............................
