Calculator FAQ

How accurate is this estimate?

It's a planning tool. Your results depend on the numbers you enter and the estimates you adjust. For real figures, measure your actual grain loss in the field.

Where do the savings numbers come from?

From your inputs: your acres, crops, bushel prices, and diesel cost, combined with the loss, fuel, and throughput estimates you can adjust. They're estimates, not guarantees.

How do I get my real numbers?

Measure your actual loss with a ScherGain Drop Pan, then come back and enter your real bushels per acre for a sharper estimate.
