The text argues that higher moisture or rye allowances in No 1 and 2 hard red spring and Durum wheat would lower prices for farmers. Buyers would penalize moisture increases and rye content, while adulteration fears rise. Mixing spring and Durum or allowing more rye would hurt premium wheat and raise costs for terminal buyers.
The department found arguments for lowering standards unconvincing and not well supported by evidence. Testimony suggested that under free competitive marketing, reducing standards would lower farmer returns. The wheat standards, set in 1917 and revised in 1918, worked under fixed wartime prices and have not faced normal market testing.
At hearings in Washington and Chicago, farmers, state officials, grain dealers and millers opposed any alteration to the current wheat standards this year. The United States grain standards act requires a 90 day notice before changes take effect, which cannot occur before the new crop movement starts, potentially raising confusion after price controls end. Agricultural educators note the need to inform producers and buyers about grading standards and their proper use, through expanded demonstrations and extension work.
