Lowell D. Hill's 'Quality Preferences of Corn and Soybean Processors in Western Europe and Japan' is a groundbreaking study on the impact of quality on international trade in agricultural products. Hill uses surveys and statistical analysis to assess the factors that influence the preferences of European and Japanese importers for American corn and soybeans. He demonstrates that quality factors like grain size, color, and texture can have a significant impact on market demand. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in international trade in agricultural commodities. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civil...
The purpose of the research reported in this publication was to evaluate the current definition of the grade factor for broken corn and foreign material (BC FM) and to examine alternative definitions based on various sizes of screens. The data were obtained through analysis of 1,080 samples of corn from Illinois elevators. The data show that the 12/64-inch round-hole sieve currently used does not result in maximum differentiation between corn and BC FM since much of the material passing through the sieve is broken corn. Other sieve sizes would increase the contrast between corn and BC FM on physical and chemical properties, although in this research none of the sieve sizes clearly differenti...
