Viterra Terminal Goes High Tech

[walterm]

How many farmers know or watch to see if grade and dockage is done properly? Or even if what wieght is on ticket is same as scale.

Get rid of manually entering anything into computer from truck and bench scale, protein and moisture machine. It can all be done so easily the programs are all ready there and equipment is all adaptable.

Don't worry bout me Farma I dont let them get away with bs. More than once I left the scale fully loaded and hauled it down the road.

Most instances you would think if you've been probed and waiting for the scale to open up they should have the time to get your final grade, moisture and dockage before you even get to the scale. That info should be on the kiosk as soon as its available. Its bullshit that they wait till you are gone in every situation.

That is the idea of remote probe. Other wise they would do a proper hand sample or leg sample with the cross cut. Other thing is the only time you can ask for CGC subject too is at time of unload so unless you are in grading room watching and agree or disagree you SOL.

Who says you have to leave before you know what's on the truck or just been dumped in the pit?

For fuuuuuck's sake people, stand up for yourself!!!

The elevator knows all the specs on your load before your allowed unload.

Just to make sure people got the message....

.....and again. And I will like my own reply to post again too!!!!!

Maybe they will start staying open longer....

[farmaholic]

If they can send you a text or email after its unloaded why can't they send you the grade specs before its unloaded, because they don't want to?

This is a violation of the Canada Grain Act. Farmers have the right to dispute the grade the company assigns at unload and demand a sample be sent to the CGC. Once you leave the elevator you are screwed.
