WORKSHOPS HAVE LIMITED SEATING

Pre-Registration Required

This one-day hands-on workshop will feature the latest information on grain quality. The Grain Grading workshop will address and display many different grain samples but will emphasize corn and soybeans. Presentations on the grading and appeal process will be given. Participants will learn what the official U.S. grades are and how to obtain a representative sample. Attendees will also learn how to recognize major grain damage factors.

Workshop registrants will be assigned on a first come, first-served basis. Participants only need to attend one session - the same workshop is held on both days.

The workshop is under the direction of Federal Grain Inspection Service inspectors from the National Grain Center.
