Complete Story
2012 Grain Grading School Registration is Open
Commodity Tester Certification/Recertification Available June 12 and Sept. 6
Are you looking to obtain your Commodity Tester Certificate? Or, do you already have your Commodity Tester Certificate and need to renew it? Remember … Sept. 30 is the deadline to renew your Certificate, and these Grain Grading Schools – approved by the Ohio Department of Agriculture – are structured to provide certification/recertification opportunities.
Individuals seeking certification will receive training in the procedures for grading corn, soybeans and wheat, as well as sampling and equipment, and will then take an open-book exam consisting of 50 questions. Those seeking recertification receive the same training and sign a verification of attendance form.
The Ohio Commodity Handler Law requires all individuals grading commodities to be certified. New commodity testers must pass (80 percent) a written exam. Those currently certified must either fulfill continuing education requirements, or pass the written exam once every three years to renew their Commodity Tester Certificate.
