The United States Grain Standards Act designations for the Ohio Valley Grain Inspection, Inc. and the North Dakota Grain Inspection Service, Inc. are set to end soon, and the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is inviting applications from private entities or state agencies interested in taking over these roles. Applicants must submit their applications and comments during specified periods in 2025. AMS is also seeking feedback on the performance of the current agencies and has updated the area description for Fargo, North Dakota, following the North Dakota Grain Inspection Service's acquisition of Detroit Grain Inspection Service, Inc.
Simple Explanation
The government is looking for new people or groups to check and weigh grain in two places: Evansville, Indiana, and Fargo, North Dakota. They want to know if the current workers are doing a good job and need new people to apply by next year if they want to help with this work.
