If they spotted anything other than whole, nicely dried, plump golden grains of wheat, they assumed your entire consignment was not cleaned properly. They sent you back with your wheat to go clean it some more. Can you imagine that?\u00a0 Taking the wheat back home, opening and cleaning each bag all over again, buying new sisal twine for hemming the bags afresh and hiring a truck once again to deliver the wheat.\u00a0 This was an expensive repeat job costing the farmer double the money, double the labor and it could take another two to three weeks before he could get his wheat accepted at the Cereal Board.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">My parents had zero tolerance for such inconveniences, so they made sure we cleaned our wheat thoroughly the first time round.
