I thought I had a good understanding of how Green flows out of a bin versus how it went in. Until I was trying to blend wet and dry canola out of various bins this fall.
It seemed that wet on top of dry, flow out completely different than dry on top of wet.
I expect mixtures of different grains would flow unpredictably as well. Barley would have more friction than wheat I would imagine.

Yes when loading truck or even dumping sample pail grain will separate by size shape and weight. Smaller, heavier grain like weed seeds and broken grain will be in the middle of the pile. Where the bigger lighter material will be on the outer side. so what happens is where you take your sample from in your truck or if you don't use the Borner divider when grading your dockage and grade can be off.

This particular event illustrates the value of a relationship with your various partners etc. I've had oopsies myself. If you trust no one ever, it will get costly. You either won't be trusted or liked.
