Title: Request for Public Comment on the United States Standards for Wheat 
Abstract: GIPSA is reviewing the United States Standards for Wheat under the United States Grain Standards Act. Since the standards were last revised, numerous changes have occurred in the breeding and production practices of wheat; the technology used to harvest, process, and test wheat; and also wheat marketing. To ensure that standards and official grading practices remain relevant, GIPSA invites interested parties to comment on whether the current wheat standards and grading practices need to be changed.
