1. A person who, in connection with the receipt of grain for storage, processing, or sale,
adjusts the scale weight of the grain to compensate for the moisture content of the grain shall
compute the amount of the adjustment by multiplying the scale weight of the grain by that
factor which results in a rate of adjustment of one and eighteen hundredths percent of weight
per one percent of moisture content. The person who uses any rate of weight adjustment
for moisture content other than the one prescribed by this subsection commits a fraudulent
practice as defined in section 714.8. The person shall post on the business premises in a
conspicuous place notice of the rate of adjustment for moisture content as prescribed by this
subsection. The person who fails to make this disclosure commits a simple misdemeanor.
2. A person who, in connection with the receipt of grain for storage, processing, or sale,
adjusts the quantity of the grain received to compensate for losses to be incurred during
the handling, processing, or storage of the grain shall post on the business premises in a
conspicuous place notice of the rate of adjustment to be made for this shrinkage. The person
who fails to make this disclosure commits a simple misdemeanor.
3. A person who adjusts the scale weight of grain for moisture content and for handling,
processing, or storage losses may combine the two adjustment factors into a single factor
and may use this resulting factor to compute the amount of weight adjustment in connection
with storage, processing, or sale transactions, provided that the person shall post on the
