The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is proposing to revise the U.S. Standards for Barley under the U.S. Grain Standards Act (USGSA) by revising the Definitions of Other Terms to remove Blue Malting barley and the reference to kernels with white aleurone layers.
GIPSA will also revise the standards to add the factors injured-by-mold and mold-damaged kernels.
The proposal recommends revisions to the grade and grade requirements for Two-rowed Malting Barley, Six-rowed Malting barley, and Six-rowed Blue Malting barley, and these changes will assist in facilitating the marketing of barley.
Comments are accepted until September 23, 2014.
