[QUOTE="MattR, post: 7209323, member: 19950"] Sorry to drag up this thread again, but I have a question - Grain contracts specify certain specs such as moisture, bushelweight, admix etc etc. What they don't (or at least in my experience, mainly selling for feed) state is whether a specification breach is a deduction issue or a rejection issue. Take moisture for instance - any load reported as being just a fraction over 15 would often have a claim for a few pence/ton. It isn't stated where this becomes a rejection issue - 16%? 17%? 17.5%? Same goes for specific weight etc. I would be pretty annoyed to have a load rejected, particularly after a long haul, for something being very marginally under-spec, but presumably the mill would be within their rights to reject rather than claim a deduction if it suited them at the time? Do any merchants/mills publish guides of spec breach outcomes, such as (in the case of moisture say, but applicable to sp. wt. etc as well) "xx pence per 0.1% over 15%, over xx% results in rejection" so everyone knows where they stand? (Maybe they do - as i say most of what I sell is for feed so thankfully rarely have these issues). [/QUOTE]
