Our local elevator has been blamed for over docking for at least the past 40 years, but when they ship out grain there is a federal inspector there at the loading facility taking samples and every car is documented and sealed. When my son worked there he grumbled about the times when a freshly loaded car was rejected so they had to unload it and re-fill with grain that passed. They handle I'm guessing 30-40 million bushels a year and they don't show favoratism to anyone.
The farmers who grumbled about the over-docking were the ones who didn't take care of their farm stored grain, didn't know how to adjust their combines or had just plain weedy beans. Some of these farmers would take their messy grain to some little privately owned elevator that was run by a drinking buddy who would give them a break on their sample. The big elevator won't give them that kind of a break.
We corn/soybean farmers have it good compared to the guys who grow food grade crops. Jim
