The clean grain is visually inspected by the elevator manager. If he thinks the grain has a high-moisture content, he may test the sample in a moisture meter to determine whether or not the grain is tough or damp. Following this visual examination and the moisture test, he assigns a grade to the grain. 2, record 2, English, - moisture%20meter

Binning grain by grade requires special skills. The elevator must ensure that small lots, which are purchased over a period of time and placed in a bin to accumulate until carlot quantities have been obtained, receive the same grade and dockage when unloaded at the terminal as was given to producers when the grain was originally purchased. Any difference between the grade given by the elevator manager to a producer and the grade given by the Commission is absorbed by the elevator company. 1, record 3, English, - binning%20grain

L'agent du silo envoie un échantillon accepté d'un commun accord à la Commission des grains en spécifiant que c'est pour établir officiellement le grade et le pourcentage d'impuretés d'un chargement de grain. Le grade et le pourcentage d'impuretés fixés par la division de l'inspection de la Commission des grains sont définitifs et l'agent du silo fait parvenir au producteur un bon de paiement d'après la décision de la Commission. 1, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9c%C3%A9piss%C3%A9%20provisoire%20de%20livraison

When a shipper requests special cleaning of a carlot of grain not otherwise provided for in Regulations and the terminal elevator manager agrees to the request, the official sample is analysed and the percentage by weight and the grade(except in the case of screenings) of each portion of the sample so separated is indicated on inspection records and on the back of certificates. Inspection records show the notation "release as per special machine separation. "The elevator must issue an outturn showing the grades and quantities reported.

Les documents d'inspection porteront la mention «livré après séparation mécanique spéciale». L'exploitant du silo doit faire un rapport de déchargement indiquant les grades et les quantités inscrits.
