All grain may be officially inspected and graded to U.S. standards. These services are provided on a fee basis to grain elevators, flour mills, farmers, and others. Being funded mostly by Dedicated Credits, the program has some flexibility to adjust its size to meet the demands of the industry.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $242,500 from all sources for Grain Inspection. This is a 4.5 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources. The total includes $52,100 from the General/Education Funds, an increase of 5.3 percent from revised Fiscal Year 2015 estimates.
