GRAIN SAMPLING
To ensure accurate grain grading and make informed marketing and inventory decisions, it is crucial to conduct adequate and accurate grain sampling. This practice should be carried out throughout the year, not just during the fall harvest, to identify potential issues such as pests, mold, and moisture caused by temperature fluctuations.
An easy-to-use and dependable tool for efficient grain sampling is the Port-a-Probe, which provides precise results at different depths and is less expensive than conventional sampling tools. With this technology, farm proprietors and operators can effortlessly collect grain samples from silos, flat storage structures, and grain piles, reducing storage losses and detecting storage concerns.
Although grain sampling can be a tedious task, the Port-a-Probe offers a practical solution that saves time and effort. By utilizing this technique, individuals can obtain the necessary information for proper grain management and minimize the impact of storage issues on their operations.
GVS offers two PORT-A-PROBE models equipped with Honda gas engines and Sutorbilt positive-displacement vacuum pumps which are portable enough to be placed in the back of a truck or van.
