Canadian growers can market their own grain. With this comes the need to monitor the time, price, and placethey wish to sell their grain. To determine the price of grain one must be able to determine the quality of thegrain and the quantity. To grade the quality of the grain, samples must be taken to identify characteristics suchas damage caused by insects, moisture, or temperature. Grain sampling can be a time-consuming processbecause traditionally a representative sample requires a person to take a sample from grain flowing from theauger at regular time intervals. VeriGrain Sampling Inc. has produced a system to automatically perform grainsampling and data management. They want to build onto their mobile app to provide further functionality forgrowers, buyers, and consumers of the agriculture industry. This applied research project focuses on increasinggrain quality identification and traceability as well as providing a Decision Support System. VeriGrain willwork with Saskatchewan Polytechnic to create this product which will maximize profits for the agricultureindustry.

加拿大的种植者可以销售他们自己的谷物。随之而来的是需要监控他们希望出售粮食的时间、价格和地点。要确定粮食的价格，必须能够确定粮食的质量和数量。为了对谷物的质量进行分级，必须采集样本以确定虫害、潮湿或温度造成的损害等特征。谷物采样可能是一个耗时的过程，因为传统上，具有代表性的样品需要人以固定的时间间隔从螺旋钻机流出的谷物中采集样品。VeriGrain采样公司生产了一种自动执行谷物采样和数据管理的系统。他们希望在其移动应用程序的基础上，为农业行业的种植者、买家和消费者提供进一步的功能。这一应用研究项目的重点是提高粮食质量识别和追溯能力，并提供决策支持系统。VeriGrain将与萨斯喀彻温省理工学院合作开发这种产品，为农业行业带来最大利润。
