End-Gate Grain Sampling
To collect a representative sample from a stream of grain flowing from a truckbox end-gate, certain requirements must be met:
1. The material should fall free from the end-gate for about 1 foot.
2. The entire stream of grain (side to side and front to back) must be cut as the sample passes through the stream.
3. The sampling device must not be allowed to completely fill with grain before it leaves the grain stream. If it does, some of the flowing grain will pass around the sampler and not be sampled.
4.Collect a sample from each 500 bushels with a minimum of two cuts per truckload. A cut is a single pass of the sampling tool through the grain stream. Any sampling tool can be used to collect the sample as long as the above requirements can be met.
