Settling for grain and charges incurred

If a producer ships to a Canadian Grain Commission licensed elevator, the producer is paid based on the grade and net weight of the grain at unload. If the producer uses an administrator, the administrator usually pays the freight, cleaning charges and any weighing and inspection fees that may apply on the producers’ behalf. The administrator deducts these fees from the final payment to the producer.

Producers are encouraged to get the proper documentation as without it they may not be able to make a claim for compensation if there are any problems.
