Abstract
The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is revising the United States Standards for Corn to: report test weight (TW) to the nearest tenth of a pound; eliminate the count limit on stones and reduce the U.S. Sample grade aggregate weight tolerance from more than 0.2 percent by weight to more than 0.1 percent by weight; and offer stress crack testing as official criteria. The objective of these revisions is to ensure that the corn standards are serving their intended purpose to facilitate the marketing of corn.
