WESTERN PRODUCER — The Canadian Grain Commission has walked back its decision to align primary and export test weights for wheat.
In a statement issued Friday morning, the commission said it would repeal the decision for Canada Western Red Spring, Hard White Spring, Extra Strong, Soft White Spring and Northern Hard Red.
The alignment of total foreign material tolerances for Western Amber Durum is also being repealed, along with total foreign material for the other wheat classes.
The commission also said the changes announced in Canada Gazette, Part II, will be repealed as soon as possible.
Numerous farm organizations had urged the grain commission to reconsider, saying the decision could cost farmers money.
