Grain Grading School
Legacy Farmers Cooperative - Agronomy Center
Custar, OH
Are you looking to obtain your Commodity Tester Certificate? Or, do you already have your Commodity Tester Certificate and need to renew it?
This Grain Grading School – approved by the Ohio Department of Agriculture – is 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 who perform a quality test for the purpose of applying a premium or discount on 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.
Instruction is provided by Eurofins Grain Inspection and Steve Peters, Inc.
