17B.04 STATE INSPECTION AND WEIGHING.
    Subdivision 1. Furnishing service. The commissioner, upon proper application for state
inspection or weighing of grain by any person interested at any point within the state, may furnish
such service, if the commissioner deems it expedient; provided, such person first agrees to pay
all costs of the service. Rules governing state inspection and weighing at other terminals shall
apply at such points.
    Subd. 2. Shipper to affix tags. Every shipper of grain shall fasten upon the inside of each
car shipped a card giving the number and initials or other distinctive mark of such car, the date
of shipment, and the exact weight of the grain in such car, as claimed by the shipper. If the
shipper fails to do so, the official weight shall be prima facie evidence of the quantity of grain
shipped in such car.
    Subd. 3. Samples to be furnished; fees. The commissioner is hereby authorized to furnish
persons entitled thereto, when requested by them, samples of grain from any car from which
samples are taken for inspection and grading. The fees for the furnishing of such samples shall be
fixed by the commissioner.
