program of research and information to provide foreign buyers with accurate
commercial grain measures of quality factors, including those not currently

corn millers, and soybean processors in international markets.  The program should:
(a) identify those grain characteristics that are economically important
in influencing quality and quantity of processed products;

measurement of these characteristics;

inspection agencies, other commercial firms, and other interested
organizations to provide these accurate measures until such time that these
measures become generally available through such commercial firms;

buyers locate adequate supplies of grain with the desired quality characteristics; and
