Official domestic inspection other than at terminal elevators is not legislated. All grain destined for off-shore markets is officially inspected and weighed. Cargoes are monitored according to statutory grade specifications or contract specifications. Customers receive either a Certificate Final, Quality Certificate or a Sample Submitted Certificate. Bulk handling, blending within the grade, and primary and export grade standards contribute to uniformity and consistency.
Quality is at least as good as the guaranteed minimum.
Varietal Control Varieties are registered and rigorously scrutinized for agronomic performance, disease resistance and end-use quality. Classes of grain or classes within a type that have different end uses must be visually distinguishable. Varietal intrinsic quality means grain that looks good, is consistently good. Facilitates bulk handling, segregation and marketing. Upon receipt, all material removed is assessed as dockage.
