Agricultural Testers

Agricultural Testers

Crop quality is often determined by factors you can’t see, but agricultural testers make those numbers accessible. Tractor Supply offers these essential tools as part of our hay and harvesting selection, built For Life Out Here.

Accurate Readings for Better Crop Decisions

Timing is a critical factor in every aspect of farming. Bale hay a day too soon and weeks of effort can turn into spoilage. An agricultural tester takes the guesswork out by measuring the conditions that decide crop value. One quick reading tells you when hay is ready to bale, when grain is safe to store or when the ground needs work before planting. Fewer losses, steadier quality and a better return on your labor all trace back to knowing the numbers instead of guessing. The right tester depends on your crops and farming style, and our wide selection ensures you have the ideal tool for your operation.

Moisture Meters and Probes

Too much water in a crop opens the door to mold and spoilage, so a dependable moisture tester earns its place as one of the handiest tools on the farm. Point a handheld meter at loose grain, such as corn, wheat or soybeans, and you have a number in seconds. Hay calls for its own style of tester, built to read a bale before it gets stacked away. There are specialty units for coffee beans and tobacco as well, each one calibrated to that crop. Match the tool to your main crop and harvest decisions, and get quicker results while quality stays on track.

Soil Kits and Forage Sampling

What is going on below the surface sets the limit on every crop, and a basic test kit shows you what the soil is short on before any seed goes in. Run one, and you see pH alongside nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which tells you what to add rather than leaving it to chance. For hay and forage, a core sampler bores into the bale and pulls a plug that a lab can analyze for protein and energy. A chemical kit handles a fast check at home, while the core-and-lab route gives serious forage growers the detail they are after.
