OABA SCHEDULES EARLY GRAIN GRADING

Two opportunities for commodity testers

OABA has scheduled a second Commodity Testers School, June 11, 2008 at ODA in Reynoldsburg,OH. The traditional school in September will be September 4, 2008, again at ODA in Reynoldsburg. The two schools should make it easier for industry to get employees certified in a timely manner.

The ODA approved schools are structured to provide instruction, in one setting, for individuals needing recertification or certification. Participants receive training in the USDA Grain Standards for corn, soybeans and wheat, as well as sampling and equipment. Individuals wanting to become certified will receive training then take an open book exam. Those needing recertification receive the same training and sign a verification of attendance form.

Instruction is be provided by Eurofins and Steve Peters. On-line registration for the early school is currently available at www.oaba.net - select the calendar tab, then the event.
