How is wheat quality assured?
|
| U.S. wheat customers can depend on consistent qualities and reliable delivery. Since the passage of the Grain Standards Act in 1916, the U.S. has been the pioneer in providing quality assurance to grain buyers. In their contracts, buyers can specify the traits they need, at prices they can afford, to get the most value.
Those contracts are backed up by the most professional and objective inspection system in the world. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) oversees impartial inspectors who sample, weigh, inspect, and certify nearly every single wheat shipment exported from the U.S.
