Markets today are international in nature and cannot and should not be influenced by state governments. States cannot set prices or control the market. Our industry is committed to maintaining grain quality while grain is in storage and being delivered to the customer. Grain quality begins on the farm, and the task of providing a quality product to the customer must be a team effort involving all segments of the industry from farm to table. Policymakers should keep in mind that it is often the customer who determines the quality of the grain received through the grade he purchases.
Premium quality is available at a premium price.
Under current Kansas Law, medicated feed additives are registered under the Livestock Remedy Law. Since the Livestock Remedy Law is outdated, KGFA supports moving the jurisdiction for registration of medicated feed additives to the Commercial Feeding Stuffs Law. All requirements for feed manufacturing, sale and use should be consolidated under one law. Moisture Meter Inspection KGFA opposes the establishment of state moisture meter inspection. Moisture meters are used at elevators in determining grain moisture, which is a factor in the price paid to the producer.
