§ 41751 Garlic Onion Dehydration Weighing

• •Farmers and dehydrators can agree to weigh garlic or onions before drying them.
• •A certified person must do the weighing and give a weight certificate.
• •The farmer and dehydrator must split the cost of weighing and moving the crops equally.
• •The weight measured is just for the farmer’s info and doesn’t replace any contract rules about weights at the dehydrator’s place.

A farmer and a company that dries onions agree to weigh the onions before sending them to the drying plant.

They hire a certified weighmaster to weigh the onions and give a weight certificate. The farmer and the company split the cost of moving the onions to the weigh station and back. The weight measured is just for the farmer to know, but the final weight at the drying plant is what matters for their contract.
