Transportation and
Handling
Once IPAP has arranged for the specific grain to be purchased, identity preservation becomes paramount.
Delivery can be by bag, container, truck, barge, train or
ship-- but no matter what the method, only strict attention to identity preservation will deliver what has been so carefully arranged.
|
| IPAP thinks enough about identity preservation that we put it in our name:
Identity Preserved Agricultural Products,
LLC. |

Integrity from Field to Delivery
The photographs below show grain being
transferred from a storage bin to the shipping container.

Matt Stokes checks in with the lab for GMO test results at
the farm. The storage bins have been tested prior to loading
into containers for shipment. |
 |
The grain, in this case corn,
is loaded directly from
the storage bin into the container for shipping. By minimizing
handling, IPAP can ensure the highest quality product reaches the
buyer.

|
On this site, a rotary screen is used during the transfer process to remove
fines, broken kernels, and other impurities.
|
The containers are
custody sealed on site to guarantee integrity from the farm to the
buyer. Here the farmer, Richard Cliff, shows the shipping seal
as the full container is ready for transportation. The grain
has already been verified by an independent laboratory to meet the
buyer's requirements |
