ABSTRACT:
Aspects include claims, systems, and methods for testing bulk grain stores to identify the presence of contaminants. Such contaminants tested for may include biological, chemical, or radio nuclear material. Another aspect is marking and/or tracking grain stores that have been certified as either being contaminated or safe. Still another aspect is an automated or automatic system for measuring the level of contamination in a given grain store, and for marking and tracking grain stores tested for contamination.
