WINNIPEG, June 30, 2015 /CNW/ - The Canadian Grain Commission reminds the grain industry and producers about grain grading changes that come into effect on July 1, 2015 in Eastern Canada. Tolerances for red smudge in amber durum wheat will be removed and the total smudge tolerance for No. 1 amber durum is changing from 0.3% to 0.5%.
The Official Grain Grading Guide as of July 1, 2015, will be posted shortly before the start of the new crop year.
