Dockage determination

Dockage determination will be via Carter dockage tester. A minimum of one thousand grams will be used. The riddle and sieve arrangements will be: Feed on #3, for yellow and #2 feed for oriental and brown, air on #7, the 000 riddle, #10 sieve in top sieve carriage, and #11 sieve in middle. All material, including mustard seeds and unthreshed pods, removed by air, and all material passing over the riddle and the #10 sieve are dockage. All material passing through the bottom #11 sieve will be reclaimed using a 6x21-inch wire sieve for brown and oriental mustard. Material remaining on top of the hand sieve will be placed back in the dockage-free mustard for grading. The fifty percent rule will apply to all material passing through the hand sieve, that is, if this material is fifty percent or more mustard it is returned to the mustard sample for grading, but if it is less than fifty percent mustard by weight it is placed in dockage and weighted and calculated with air and riddle dockage. (As the production environment or nature of mustard seed of any of the subclasses might change from year to year, the size of the reclaiming hand sieve may need to be changed. If a different sieve is used to reclaim that material passing through the bottom #11 sieve, the size and hole shape of the sieve used must be stated on the certificate.)
