Grain Policy

You may wait for the sample to be tested before dumping it. If the hauler is not satisfied with the grade, a second sample will be taken. However, the grade obtained on the last sample will be used for settlement purposes. The seller has the option of requesting official grades from a federal grain inspector on any contested samples. The seller shall stand the cost of such grades, and these grades will be final.
We will retain all samples when grades are contested for 10 days.
1. Information - The hauler needs to give accurate, complete information to the scale operator. The owner’s name, a split percentage if there are multiple owners, and the disposition of the grain. Will need to notify us when the last load is delivered so the settlement can be made promptly.
2. Open Storage - Grain delivered in January through September must be priced within 30 days or by October 1st, whichever comes first. Grain delivered after October 1st will have a maximum of 5 calendar days in open storage. If no instructions are received on the disposition of the grain by the last day of open storage, the grain will be sold.
3. We reserve the right to refuse corn above 25% moisture.
