 in connection with these bills: 



Grain Marketing (LC 11) 



Representative Bill Glaser, House District 98 

 (Billings), stated that LC 11 would establish a 

 voluntary marketing program for grain. Under the 

 program, the Montana Department of Agriculture would 

 assist farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and commodity 

 dealers in the transportation, handling, and marketing 

 of a quality-preserved Montana grain. Representative 

 Glaser said any person who wished to participate in the 

 program must agree to provide grain that meets these 

 requirements: 



(1) The grain must be produced and harvested in 

 Montana. 



(2) The grain must not be blended or intermingled 

 with grain of a different type, contrasting 

 origin, or lower quality. 



(3) No dockage, water, or foreign material may be 

 added or knowingly introduced to the grain.
