   I am looking for a way to accurately measure granular fertilizer in lbs and ounces. We have been buying postal scales from Office Depot that work great for a few months until the humidity and corrosion sets in.
   
   Does anyone know of a good agricultural scale?
   
   Thanks

   I use something similar to this. I got mine at Kohls I think. I like it because it's plastic and won't rust.

   Most of my crew carries little pocket size triple beams...these are great when weighing out ounces, kilos, etc...
   
   All kidding aside, it depends on how much you want to measure. For little stuff, we have a digital scale that goes up to 9 pounds, 15 ounces. For larger measurements we have used bathroom scales.

   The digital ones in the middle of the page are the ones we use. Really good and will last

   We got two from the kitchen that they were not using anymore. 50lb tabletop unit that is stainless steel. Got a small digital one for ounces.
