[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 6764542, member: 11374"] There's nothing you can do if the sample isn't up to spec, and a lot of samples will naturally be borderline. My dads family ran a grain trading business for around 116 years, and the accumulated wisdom passed down through the generations was "theres a lot of money made from blending barley" (always said with a wink), "supply to a specification, not above it". Funnily enough, I had lunch in town yesterday in what was my great grandfathers granary. Teams of men used to shovel differing grades of barley through holes in each of the 5 floors to the bagging plant at the bottom. The modern equivalent will be loading barley from the 'better quality' malting bins while gently opening the slide from the 'better quality' feed bins. But what would I know, I stopped growing barley in 2002. I always suspected the 'rejection' phone calls from the intake were a bit dodgy ? [/QUOTE]
