“Having their own laboratory or a minimum set of laboratory equipment at agricultural producers will allow them to protect themselves from unscrupulous traders or elevators when buying or accepting grain for storage. In this case, the grain producer will know the main indicators of grain (moisture, contamination, nature, quality and quantity of gluten, etc.) and will always be able to defend its interests,” Dzyuba said.

“Sampler, drying cabinet, grain mill, whiteness meter, moisture meter, IDK-analyser, dough mixer, scales, device for determining the number of falls, a set of sieves and other auxiliary tools will allow to equip a standard laboratory and effectively determine the quality of grain according to GOST requirements,” the specialist specified.
