In Ontario, wheat moves from farms to country agents appointed by the Ontario Wheat Board, of which there are about 180.... On delivery of wheat to agents, producers receive an initial payment guaranteed by the federal government from which a license fee of $1. 00 per tonne is deducted for administration costs.... The agents are reimbursed by the Board on receipt of producer settlement forms for the initial payment to producers plus handling charges. Agents also receive a conditioning fee from the Board if wheat delivered contains 14. 5% or more moisture. Maximum grade and moisture discounts are established by the Board each year. 1, record 1, English, - initial%20payment

En Ontario, les producteurs confient leur blé aux quelque 180 agents nommés par l'Office. [...] Lorsque les producteurs livrent leur blé aux agents, ils reçoivent un acompte garanti par le gouvernement fédéral et duquel est déduit un droit d'enregistrement de 1,00 $ la tonne pour les frais d'administration. [...] Sur présentation des pièces justificatives, l'Office rembourse l'acompte versé aux producteurs et les frais de manutention aux agents. Il leur paie également un droit de conditionnement si le blé livré contient 14,5 p. cent d'eau ou plus. L'Office détermine annuellement les réfactions maximums pour le grade et la teneur en eau. 1, record 1, French, - acompte%20vers%C3%A9%20aux%20producteurs

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 2, English, - binning%20grain

Le remplissage du silo demande une certaine compétence. L'agent doit s'assurer que les petites quantités qu'il achète jusqu'à ce qu'une cellule contienne suffisamment de grain pour remplir un wagon, se verront attribuer, lors du déchargement à un silo terminus, le même grade et le même pourcentage d'impuretés que ce qu'il a déclaré aux producteurs au moment de l'achat. Toute différence entre le grade attribué par l'agent à un producteur et le grade fixé par la Commission est absorbée par la compagnie de silos. 1, record 2, French, - remplissage%20du%20silo

If producer and elevator manager do not agree upon grade and dockage, the elevator manager issues an interim elevator receipt showing the weight of grain delivered. He sends an agreed upon sample, known as a grade and dockage sample, to the Canadian Grain Commission for official grading. The grade and dockage given by the Commission's Inspection Division is final and the elevator manager issues to the producer a cash purchase ticket on the basis of the Commission's decision. 1, record 3, English, - interim%20elevator%20receipt

Lorsque le producteur et l'agent du silo sont en désaccord sur le grade et le pourcentage d'impuretés, l'agent établit un récépissé provisoire de livraison où est porté le poids du grain livré. 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 3, French, - r%C3%A9c%C3%A9piss%C3%A9%20provisoire%20de%20livraison
