Upon arrival of the carrier, the relevant purchase order must be verified against the delivery docket to ensure that the grain came from the supplier that the grain was ordered from.

Inspect grain for contaminants (i.e. treated product, fertilizer, excessive gravel and dirt or foreign material such as bird and rodent droppings as a source of disease, etc.).

Inspect and test for moisture, test-weight, broken kernels, temperature, odour, colour, mould, etc., prior to unloading.

If grain meets the receiving standards, approval should be documented by the appropriate feedlot employee initialing and dating the grain receiving form illustrated in Grain Receival Record.

Weigh-out carrier and calculate net weight of load received. Record net weight for grain upon delivery on the scale docket for later processing.

In the event that a delivery of grain is rejected, the feedlot Managing Director of Feed Procurement must report the action directly to the feedlot manager for appropriate corrective action.

Ensure all equipment used for receiving feedstuffs is clean.
