United States Standards for Soybeans
We are revising the United States Standards for Soybeans to change the minimum test weight per bushel (TW) from a grade determining factor to an informational factor. As an informational factor, TW will be reported on official certificates unless requested otherwise. If the applicant requests that TW not be determined, soybean TW will not be determined and not reported on the official certificate. We also are changing the reporting requirements for TW in soybeans from whole and half pounds with a fraction of a half pound disregarded to reporting to the nearest tenth of a pound. Additionally, we are clarifying the reporting requirements for TW in canola. These changes will further help to ensure market-relevant standards and grades and clarify reporting requirements.
Request for Proposals for Woody Biomass Utilization Grant-Forest Restoration Activities on National Forest System Lands
The USDA Forest Service, State and Private Forestry, Technology Marketing Unit, located at the Forest Products Laboratory, requests proposals for forest product projects that increase the use of woody biomass from national forest system lands. The woody biomass utilization grant program is intended to help improve forest restoration activities by using and creating markets for small-diameter material and low-valued trees removed from forest restoration activities, such as reducing hazardous fuels, handling insect and diseased conditions, or treating forestlands impacted by catastrophic weather events. These funds are targeted to help communities, entrepreneurs, and others turn residues from forest restoration activities into marketable forest products and/or energy products.
