The grain harvest season is approaching: how can you avoid weighbridge cheating devices when selling grain?

Summary: It is not easy for farmers to sell grain. How can you avoid encountering weighbridge cheating devices?

The autumn harvest season has now arrived, and mid-to-late maturing rice has gradually entered the harvest period. Not only has rice entered the harvest period, corn has also gradually begun to be harvested. When selling much of this grain, many farming households sell it to grain purchasing dealers, and sometimes it inevitably has to go over a weighbridge. Some unscrupulous traders do indeed tamper with weighbridges.

How do unscrupulous traders cheat on weighbridges?

Weighbridge cheating really does exist, and it does not only occur in the process of selling grain. It also occurs in transactions involving steel, coal, cement and so on. It can be said that the higher the price of the goods, the greater the loss caused to the customer. Moreover, in recent years this situation has occurred more and more often, and farming households are simply unable to guard against it.

I searched online and found that this kind of weighbridge cheating device really does exist. The working principle of these cheating devices is generally controlled through frequency bands, and the signal is usually sent by a small remote control. This kind of small remote control is very small and can be hidden in a pocket. When a grain vehicle passes over the weighbridge, the grain purchaser can adjust the weight of the grain through the remote control in hand, thereby obtaining illegal profits. This situation exists in many areas, and every year relevant lawbreakers are arrested by the police.

How can weighbridge cheating be prevented?

It is not easy for farming households to grow grain. They do not earn much money in a whole year, and having unscrupulous people secretly take away part of the grain is truly infuriating! In this situation, the best method is to weigh the grain at home first before selling it, so that you have a clear idea in mind. In this way, when the grain purchaser reports the weight of the grain, you already have a good idea of what it should be.

Second, you must go to formal grain purchasing outlets. Do not believe others who say they are acquaintances and can offer a slightly higher price. What they do not realize is that acquaintances like to cheat acquaintances. Although he offers a high price, his weighbridge is not accurate, and in the end it is still the farming household that suffers.

Therefore, you must go to enterprises recognized by the relevant national authorities that carry out temporary storage purchasing, or go directly to the national temporary grain storage purchasing points. These purchasing sites have undergone strict national review, especially the weighbridges, which have passed inspection and are qualified, and generally there will be monitoring and other facilities next to the weighbridge, so these purchasing points are relatively more reliable.

In addition, once you discover that a purchaser is using a cheating device, you must call the police promptly. This kind of illegal act must be exposed and subject to legal sanctions.
