Are you looking to obtain Ohio Commodity Tester Training? Or do you already have your Commodity Tester Certificate and need to renew it? OABA's Grain Grading School – approved by the Ohio Department of Agriculture – is structured to provide training/renewal training opportunities.
The three-hour Grain Grading Course will provide training in the procedures for grading corn, soybeans and wheat, as well as sampling and equipment. Those seeking renewal training receive the same training and sign a verification of attendance form. Instruction is provided by Eurofins Grain Inspection.
The Ohio Commodity Handler Law requires all individuals who perform a quality test for the purpose of applying a premium or discount on commodities to be trained and hold a commodity tester number from the State of Ohio. New and renewing commodity testers must fulfill continuing education requirements once every five years (beginning in 2025) to renew their Commodity Tester Number.
Grain managers, merchandisers and others with interest can attend a Roundtable Discussion with the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Grain Inspection Service staff. This coffee-talk period will allow review and discussion of Ohio Grain Law with ample time for questions and answers. The event is free, but an RSVP is requested. Interested participants may also submit questions in advance through the registration form.
Complete event details for each event and registration are available at oaba.net/grain-grading.
