The Weights & Measures Section of the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets will be hosting multiple scale inspection events around the state during April for anyone who uses a scale or scales at farmers’ markets or farm stands to sell produce or other commodities. The testing and licensing of these scales is required by law. If you need an application form to license the scale it can be found on the Agency’s website - https://rb.gy/b98jn5 . This will allow the Agency to perform these inspections in a more efficient manner which creates less disruption to you and to the farmers’ markets.
Please plan to attend one of the inspection events listed below. Bring your legal for trade scale, and any accessories that you use with it for weighing items for sale.
The following is a list of dates and locations for the testing. Most sites will be at Agency of Transportation (AOT) garages. You can come anytime during our open hours, and no advance appointment is necessary. The test should take 5 to 10 minutes per scale.
Look for the yellow “Scale Check Here” signs.
