After receiving concerns from stakeholders the Canadian Grain Commission’s (CGC) is removing previously proposed changes to the Official Grain Grading Guide for the 2023-24 crop year, a July 28 news release said.
The CGC is repealing the alignment of primary and export tolerances for test weight and total foreign material for all grades of the following classes of wheat:
- Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS)
- Canada Western Hard White Spring (CWHWS)
- Canada Western Extra Strong (CWES)
- Canada Western Soft White Spring (CWSWS)
- Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR)
The alignment of total foreign material tolerances for Canada Western Amber Durum (CWAD) is also being repealed, the release said.
In June, the CGC had announced the above changes would be made to better meet the needs of the agriculture sector in Canada and grain buyers around the world. There are still some of the changes announced at that time moving forward.
