I just went back and watched that GRAIN ELEVATOR video on U Tube..It has been quite some time since I had looked at at. That video vividly illustrate everything I tried to convey with words in my "diatribe" on this subject...right down to how the grain was weighed at a county point..You can see that it's not exactly a sophisticated method and thiis would account for significant differences in the "official weight" at a terminal elevator as compared with what I described as a "country weight"..BTW that's the way the weights were designated.
There was...in many instances a difference between the weights even though there was no actual loss...That's why the settlement of these claims was "right problematical" and far from being objective...It was always just a negotiating procedure "back in the day"
I hope that you guys who are truly interested in old time grain handling will watch this video..It is 100 percent accurate as to handling of grain up through..probably the early1960's.
