The Soybean with Moisture Weight Conversion calculator uses the parameters defined by this dataset (percent moisture and pounds in one bushel) to convert pounds of soybean with a higher moisture content to pounds of soybean with a lower moisture content.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

( $H$ ) Higher moisture content percentage
( $L$ ) Lower moisture content percentage
( $W$ ) Weight of lower moisture soybean
- Consider dry soybean to be at 13.0% moisture

Weight of Lower Moisture Soybean ( $W$ ): The calculator returns the answer in pounds (lbs). However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math

lbs lower moisture soybeans = [ (100% – Higher %) / (100% – Lower %) ] x lbs of higher moisture soybeans

Example: Convert 3,000 lbs. of 18% moisture soybeans to 13.0% moisture soybeans

[ (100% – 18%) / (100% – 13.0%) x 3,000 lbs ]

= (82% / 87%) x 3,000

= 0.9425 x 3,000

= 2827.59 lbs @ 13.0% moisture
