Barley Inspection

​

Each determination of heat damaged kernels, injured-by-heat kernels, and white or blue aleurone layers in Six-rowed barley is made on pearled, dockage-free barley. Other determinations not specifically provided for under the General Provisions are made on the basis of the grain when free from dockage, except the determination of door is made on either the basis of the grain as a whole or the grain when free from dockage.
