Donna Reifschneider, GIPSA Administrator visits IOGI

In a recent tour visiting official inspection agencies throughout Illinois, Donna Reifschneider the GIPSA Administrator, Harold R.(Bob) Crook of the GIPSA Cedar Rapids Satellite Office and Janet M. Hart the Chief of the GIPSA Compliance Division Review Branch stopped by the IOGI office in Cahokia and the Granite Grain truck lab.

The Granite Grain lab samples and grades soybeans, wheat and corn under OCIS. The lab can handle as many as 400 inspections of inbound trucks in a single day. The GIPSA personnel were interested in the OCIS inspection process. They are considering reinstating FGIS user fees on the OCIS inspections. It is feared that such an increase in costs may lead these facilities to drop the inspections by the officially designated labs and revert to in house grades.
