The U.S. Department of Agriculture Grain Inspection Advisory Committee (GIAC) meeting scheduled for Oct. 28-29, 2025, in Kansas City, Mo., is cancelled and will be rescheduled for a later date once authority and appropriations are provided.
The GIAC is authorized by the U.S. Grain Standards Act (USGSA) and operates on congressionally appropriated funds. The authority for the GIAC expired on Sept. 30, 2025, and Federal Grain Inspection Service staff who manage the committee are currently furloughed due to a lapse in funding.
Information about the committee is on the Grain Inspection Advisory Committee webpage.
