Abstract

Two decades worth of research in a wide array of corporate, governmental, and academic literature provides the foundation for Lowell Hill's Grain Grades and Standards: Historical Issues Shaping the Future. How much moisture is too much? What does "plump" mean? What is a bushel? These are some of the questions Hill addresses while explaining passage of the Grain Standards Act of 1916 and the ensuing definitional problems associated with its enactment.
