Inspectors sample and grade grain at all steps in the grain handling process. Graded samples are representative of everything from a producer's delivery to the cargo being loaded to lake and ocean-going vessels. Inspectors apply standard grading factors and procedures to determine the level of quality of the grain sample. Results of the inspection process are communicated to interested parties by means of official grade certificates, grade advice notices, and letters of analysis.

Weighing personnel are on site during the loading or discharge of grain to and from trucks, railcars, lake and ocean vessels. Through a continual monitoring program and certification process, weighing personnel ensure that buyers and sellers receive full credit for the amount of grain involved in sales transactions. On a regular basis, weighing personnel re-weigh the physical stocks in-store at licensed elevator facilities. This process assures owners of the grain of the availability of their grain stocks.
