These areas were: Potential for new
sorghum classes; research to develop an
electronic odor determination
instrument; and changing the unit of
measurement for sorghum from hundred
weights to bushels. AMS received a
joint comment from two organizations
representing grain elevator operators
that stated the standards were meeting
the needs of the market and did not
need amendment. The joint comment
concurred with the national commodity
organization’s position on future
research areas. AMS welcomes the
opportunity to engage with stakeholders
on these matters.

Based on the comments received,
AMS is making no changes to the U.S
