Report urges updating federal grain standards
An Agriculture Department study urges modernizing federal grain standards to curb contamination in shipments of wheat, corn and other commodities. The report, sent to House and Senate agriculture committees, notes major problems such as misclassification of moldy kernels and insect infestation, and explains implications for prices and exports while calling for time and study to balance farmer, trade, and user interests. It also highlights price discount scales and the risk of blending contaminated grain, plus the need for a new economic impact review before sweeping changes.
