Between Jan 1 and Dec 1, 1918, about 40,000 cars of hard red spring wheat at Duluth and 50,000 at Minneapolis were inspected with a majority graded No 1. Local elevator graders often set grades for farmers, while terminal inspections ensure adherence to federal standards. Only interstate shipments fall under federal grain standards. farm-to-local elevators and spot market sales are largely governed by state authorities or private practice.
