Jesup, IA | Cows & Plows has it right. All gets blended out with better corn from the bins. 8 hour a day probe shack supervisor and the minimum wage dump area attendent at the ethanol/fructose/starch plant not exactly eagle-eyeing this. By the time the merchandisers get the day's printout, they just notice damage went from 2.1% to 2.3%. So maybe it's not even an issue?
Over the years, I have learned if I ever have anything funky to deliver, it's usually better to tell the delivery point. It seems like they are benevolent if you come clean rather than hide it in the bottom of the truck.
Shout out to the Fairbank, IA Flint Hills plant: Last year we built a big new bin. The unloading equipment wasn't finished till January, so couldn't core the bin slowly. First few loads from the core were above 10% damage (cracked grain). Merchandiser says "we can handle it, just keep it to a load a day of grain from this bin till its gone". Minimal dockage. Got rid of the grain just the same.
