An official certificate should state the date of weighing, the initial 
and number of the car in which the hay arrived; the number of 
drafts in which the hay was weighed from the car; the size of the 
bales (stating the exact measurements, the number of wires, or the 
commercial size designation) ; the number and weight of the whole 
or unbroken bales; the number and weight of the broken bales; the 
weight of the loose hay; the name or title of official weighing the 
hay; and the official record number. <A space should also be pro- 
vided for noting the condition of the car. Such a certificate is shown 
on page 25. 
All these items are essential if an official certificate is to serve 
as evidence of the outturn weights of a car of hay and conditions 
affecting them, and is to be used to substantiate claims for losses in 
weight that may occur some time during the course of marketing. 
Anyone interested in such claims is entitled to the necessary in- 
formation, and it should be furnished on the official weight certificate 
for which a charge has been made, presumably of a sufficient amount 
to pay for adequate service (fig. 7).
