nc ks | For an elevator or enduser to take a sample of your grain and then use that sample to grade your grain and send it in to the state for a grade, is there any standards that they must follow to insure that they got a reasonable sample that would characterize your whole load fairly?
I don't much care for the places that take a cup as you are dumping your first hopper. They take a minute snapshot rather than probing front and back and getting a representative sample. Fwiw, before someone says something, we are not trying to hide anything in our loads, it is all coming out of a large bin and each load is what comes out of the bin. We ship to several different places including pet food places that are ultra picky and don't have any trouble but one feedlot takes a sample right after you open the front trap and have dinged us several times for grain quality and we don't know it until a couple weeks later when we get our check from our broker. | |

Are there standard practices that have to be done to obtain a gradable grain sample?
