WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Grain producers now have more time to apply to the Grain Commission of Canada for a final determination of quality in the event of a grain grading dispute than to supply to primary lifters licensed by the Grain Commission of Canada.

Under the service, formerly known as Subject to Inspector’s Grading and Determination of Dockage, producers now have up to seven calendar days from the delivery date of their grain to request that a sample of their grain shipment be submitted to the Canadian Grain Commission a final determination of quality will be sent. Only grain producers who supply regulated grain to a primary lifter licensed by the Canadian Grain Commission are eligible for this fee.

The Canadian Grain Commission made these changes to the Canadian grain regulations support fair trade in Canada’s grain sector. The regulations have been updated to reflect and keep up with the current operational realities of grain handling and delivery in Canada.

The changes clarify sample retention time and provide flexibility for manufacturers and elevator operators to specify who retains samples and where. Additionally, grain producers do not need to be present at the time of delivery to request a final quality determination.
