"Contamination" could be anything from stones, to broken corn and foreign material (BCFM or just FM for short.) Glass, pieces of fertilizer, a strange odor, bugs (both alive and dead) and pretty much anything that's foreign to the grain I'm working with |

How many pounds of rat and mouse droppings per ton of corn is ok? In a representative sample (between 1000-1050 grams) any amount in excess of .20% by weight is considered Sample Grade and they dump the car. What that works out to is up to people that don't suck at the maths

Here's a way to say warm:
Get a leaf blower, a flare, and open up the hatches on the covered hopper. Start at the AB side and then just open all of them. Stand at the upwind direction and turn on your leaf blower aiming it into the car. While the air moves in it should pick up some dust and blow it out the other open hatches downwind. That's where you've pre-positioned your flare. If the grain dust is fine enough and in the right mixture be prepared for a nice fireball. The good part is you'll be warm. Good luck. |

The elevator minions frown on us starting fires in the grain cars. Even if its freezing outside

What's the point? We'll never know the difference anyway. Nor will we appreciate it, unless you happen to be that one lucky consumer who opens up a can of corn and gets a can of rat droppings instead...
