They make scales that arent real expensive that fit on air ride trucks.If he doesnt have scales he can weigh it .If his weight and the other ends weight is different by over 500 LBS like 1000 pounds light,you can probably have a talk with him about it.I dont know how much difference between scales there would be.Also some will probably stay in the trailer,but he ought to look and try and get as much out as he can.Some trailers empty better than others. You know he wont get exactly the same at the selling end,but he should be close.If there is a lot of difference then what you say might be going on.It would seem like he wouldnt want to take any off of a truck if he has to weigh it at both ends. Another thing is,how do you know if the other ends scales are accurate or not?How much are they allowed to be off?If they are allowed to be off any,on the buying end they will probably be light. Tell him before he hauls any of yours to weigh the truck and give you the empty weight.There are grain elevators practically everywhere.Besides that there are Cat Scales and others.Tell him to weigh it as close to your place as he can.Then on the other end he will be lighter because of fuel burned,unless he buys fuel along the way.So you figure how many miles and how many miles per gallon the truck gets and subtract that at 8 pounds per gallon.100 gallons of fuel should go 600 miles and 800 pounds less on the total weight.Subtract the empty weight from the weight at the end,minus the fuel if he didnt buy any,or add by weight back on how much he bought,and you should be real close. You wont get exactly,but you can probably get within 20 bushels easy enough. I would think a difference of 1500 pounds at the selling end,depending on how much fuel he used,is probably alright.If he bought fuel,and he is way more than 1500 pounds different,then Id say you might have a problem. Either his trailer is leaking it out,or he is pobably letting some out,or the buying end could have rinky dink scales cheating you.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
