Iowa economist urges corn grading reforms at Ames seminar
Iowa State University economist Bob Wisner urged changes to corn grading and pricing at a March 27 Corn Quality Seminar in Ames. He cited aging standards, proposed lowering No 2 moisture from 15.5 to 14 percent, and replacing test weight with accurate measures for protein and digestible nutrients to better reflect product quality and price. He warned that mechanical damage and poor handling can create foreign material pockets, prompting grade disputes and harming export reputations.
