In this episode, Micah Lewis, Ph.D., Research Agricultural Engineer, USDA Agricultural Research Service, discusses his research into using a distributed network of microwave moisture sensors to monitor in-shell peanut kernel moisture content in real time during drying.
You'll learn why peanuts stay in shell during post-harvest processing, the limitations of determining kernel moisture content during drying and while in storage, how peanuts are graded, and so much more.
