Grain Standards Act

The Grain Standards Act is a U.S. law established in 1916 that regulates the grading and standardization of grain products. Its primary purpose is to ensure fair trading practices in the grain market by providing a consistent method for measuring the quality of grains like wheat, corn, and barley. By setting clear standards, the Act helps farmers, producers, and consumers understand the quality of grain they’re dealing with, promoting transparency and trust in the agricultural economy. It also supports the prevention of fraud and helps maintain the overall integrity of grain trading.
