Notice
Summary
The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service plans to end its master scale testing program by September 30, 2025, because not enough people are using it to cover costs. Farmers, businesses, and anyone relying on this service should prepare for the change and share their thoughts before the deadline. This means the program will stop, and no more fees will be collected after that date.
