Best practice for grain testing must also be used by laboratories to ensure consistency and quality control. Topic sheets TS72 Sampling wheat seed for seed-borne disease (2004) Describes sampling requirements for wheat to be used for seed TS73 Testing winter wheat for seed-borne disease (2003) Describes the need to test wheat seed for disease to determine if treatment is necessary TS83 Sampling grain during outloading (2005) Describes a simple and effective method of sampling grain using an automatic bucket sampler whilst loading lorries Guides G17 Grain sampling - a farmer's guide  (2003) A comprehensive guide to sampling on farm at harvest time with back-up information regarding processor requirements G18 Grain sampling from field to buyer - understanding variation (2004) Describes how natural grain variability makes representative grain sampling so complex and gives an overview of how grain can be sampled and tested effectively G20 Wheat seed health and seed-borne diseases: a guide (2004) This guide includes a section that gives details on the need for sampling and testing wheat to be used for seed Tools Grain sampling - a farmer's guide on CD (2003) A series of video clips demonstrating on-farm sampling and end-users' requirements Wheat Testing CD (2004) This is a training CD for use in laboratories. Best practice grain testing for all the common intake tests and methods of quality control of grain testing laboratories Barley Testing CD (2004) This is a training CD for use in laboratories. Best practice grain testing for all the common intake tests and methods of quality control of grain testing laboratories Posters Grain sampling - on farm (2003) A poster showing how to take representative samples as grain goes into store Videos Bucket Sampler Video (2006) A short video showing a simple & effective method of sampling grain using an automatic bucket sampler whilst loading lorries Click here to play the video
