The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is reminding market participants that several changes to the U.S. Standards for Soybeans will become effective on Sept. 1.
Specifically, soybean test weight will become a non-grade-determining, informational factor rather than a grade-determining factor.
In addition, soybean test weight will be reported to the nearest tenth of a pound, instead of in whole and half pounds, with a fraction of a half pound disregarded.
As an informational factor, test weight analysis will remain a grading service and be reported on official certificates, unless the applicant for service requests otherwise.
For further information and technical questions, please contact Marianne Plaus at 202-720-9170.
