Iowa to set standards for grain probes in state elevators
Iowa plans to establish tests with Iowa State University to regulate grain probes used by about 1,250 elevators. The move follows a Federal Grain Inspection Service study showing vacuum probes overestimate broken grain and foreign material. Venues reported mixed livestock and ram sales at county fairs with notable prices and top animals.
