K. R. Kirk and B. B. Fogle. 2016. ASABE Paper No. 16-2375420. St. Joseph, MI: ASABE. Although several studies have demonstrated technologies suitable for non-destructive peanut moisture sensing, there are no commercially available in-shell moisture sensors for peanut. Development and commercialization of peanut moisture sensors has been slower than for grain crops, likely due to the comparatively smaller market size and due to the added challenges of sensing the kernel moisture content through the hull. ...

St. Joseph, Mich.: ASABE. ...There are no commercially available technologies that provide accurate means of measuring moisture content of whole pod peanuts. In this study, two hand held grain moisture meters were evaluated for use in determination of shelled and whole pod peanut moisture content. ...

H. F. Massey, K. R. Kirk. (2013). ASABE Paper No. 131620550. St. Joseph, Mich.: ASABE. A four passenger electric golf cart was donated to the Clemson University Agricultural Mechanization and Business (AGM) program. Creative Inquiry (an undergraduate research program) and senior capstone students replaced the existing electric drive golf cart by designing and building a powertrain utilizing a diesel engine with a hydrostatic transmission. The golf cart is capable of carrying four people safely, and can be used to demonstrate agricultural power and machinery principles in addition to precision agriculture technologies. ...
