Getting grain sampling right to avoid quality disputes

It is good practice to take accurate grain samples, and it is good business practice to keep spare samples if there is a later dispute about quality. Good communication in the grain supply chain is the first step to finding solutions to any problems which may occur.

AHDB Cereals have recently updated the grain sampling guide that provides a helpful refresher to NFU Scotland members.
