AUBURN, Ill., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DICKEY-john Corporation, the worldwide leader in grain moisture testers, was recently honored by the Missouri Corn Growers Association as an outstanding partner in 2013. DICKEY-john worked closely with the Missouri Corn Growers Association throughout the past year to bring market awareness to the new Unified Grain Moisture Algorithm (UGMA) Standard set forth by the Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), and its impact on current grain moisture testing methods.
Through a series of eight Missouri Corn Growers Association events across the state, DICKEY-john and Channel Partner Precision Scale and Controls presented on the advantages of the UGMA technology, risks associated with using older technology to measure grain moisture, and new solutions for the producer, including the DICKEY-john GAC® 2500-AGRI. Over 1,200 crop producers attended the events.
"The new UGMA standard and technology impacts not only the commercial grain trade industry, but also the independent producers," states Scott Vincent, DICKEY-john Sr. Product Specialist. "DICKEY-john's valuable partnership with the Missouri Corn Growers Association enabled us to work with and educate a large number of producers on the new technologies, positioning them for a more successful harvest and trading season."
