Moisture meters range in price from under $100 to over $300. If you will be producing hay to sell to others on a large scale, you will want a high quality meter. If the hay production is very small scale, maybe the cheaper meter will suffice. Your choice, but remember, hay fires happen every year. See Hay Fires: Prevention & Control.
