a grain that combines

States, has some potential as
a commercial crop, grain

USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service said m
announcing the proposed
new standards. Currently,
with about 200,000 acres m
production, triticale is used
mainly for animal forage, m
the production of malt for
making beer, and as a base
for flour used in breakfast
foods, baked goods, and
pasta. The crop was first
grown commercially in the
United States in 1970.

Under the proposed new
standards, which were
developed in cooperation
with trade representatives
and academic experts on
grain, samples of triticale
taken or submitted for of
ficial inspection would be
graded U.S. No. 1,2,3,4, or
U.S. Sample grade. The
grade-determining factors,
similar to those already used
for wheat and rye, would
include minimum test
(weight per bushel; amount
of heat-damaged kernels;
amount of kernels damaged
in any way; amount of
foreign material other than
wheat and rye; amount of
foreign material including
wheat and rye; amount of
shrunken and broken ker
nels; and total defects.
