+ Do you make any deductions for drying weight losses? Yes. For each 1% of moisture removed then a weight loss of 1.25% will be deducted. + Will you clean my crops? Rapeseed/Linseed/Pulses: if admixture level is above 2.0% then the seed will be cleaned. Milling Wheat: where admixture is above 2% and/or screenings are above 3% the wheat may be cleaned. Feed wheat will generally not be cleaned unless it is deemed necessary to ensure the future saleability of the goods. Infestation will normally result in rejection at the Silo but, where possible, very low infestation levels may be treated on site. Ergot can be cleaned out on site at a charge of £15.00 / per mt. + What will you charge for cleaning? Where low level infestation can be treated on site, thecharge for this service is £10.00 per metric tonne. + Do you make any deductions for cleaning weight losses? Yes. For each of 1% of admix/screenings removed a weight loss of 1.25% will be deducted. + What if my crops do not meet the required quality on delivery? All crops are tested upon delivery to the store. Where the quality specification is found to be outside the parameters stated in the contract confirmation, we reserve the right to reject or divert the load to another store or accept it under a lower grade. Where it is necessary to re-grade a load to accept it, we will do so in accordance with the “Fair Average Quality” criteria we establish for the season. If we are unable to contact you, we will act on your behalf and in your best interest including (but not limited to) whether we will continue with any planned collections or re-schedule them for a later date. All quality adjustments, allowances and premiums will be notified as early as is practicable and applied to the final payment under the Contract. + Do you guarantee to accept all deliveries? Although it is our intention to accept all deliveries, for the protection of all our members, Shoreham Silo Services reserve the right to reject any load which at their absolute discretion is not suitable for storage for whatever reason. + What will happen if there is an Export Tax Liability? All goods delivered to the port are intended to be used for export. In the event that any goods are shipped out of the port, any levies or tariffs applicable at that time will be for the account of the grower. Where goods are priced for a specific month then growers will be responsible for any levies or tariffs until the last day of the delivery period. + Can I commit on a produce of an area basis? No. We only work on a committed tonnage basis. The tonnage you commit will be confirmed in the Pool Contract issued by Bartholomews Agri Food Ltd (“Buyer”) who is the buyer of the goods in all instances.
