Lately it has been my privilege to talk to many sailors on vessels loading grain. One problem is that excess wind blows the product and the pipes/chutes that deliver it and cause difficulties with loading. A bigger one appears to be that grain can not be even a tiny bit damp as it ruins it. Since we are having intermittent rain showers mixed with sun, wind, and downpours they cannot load. Maybe this helps with your question? Andrea
