Southwestern IL St. Clair Co. | Took a load of corn to River terminal late yesterday. Ticket shows moisture 12.2% ,56% damage & 12.3 foreign mat., broken kernels 12.3 Corn is clean and about as good as you can get. Out of bin. Took 2 samples this morning one out of top and other thru auger to local elevator this morning. 14 % and 14.2% (which is what i think it is) they said it looks great, show them copy of ticket and they said what the #@#@, that cant' be.
Moisture isn't a big deal, but other stuff is crazy! I'd say 56% is impossible!
Called terminal this morning. Said they have to keep sample 5 days. Said they would retest. called again a few times later this morning, but still no answer just claim to be retesting.
How do you protest a grain sample taken at a river terminal?
Can we ask to see sample in person they claim to be holding?
Thanks, John
