If you ever wondered how the classing office worked, a recent article on GROW the website for the Plant Health Exchange includes a great video that USDA put together to show the entire process. The video discusses the classing of cotton from start to finish and how the USDA ensures that consistency is maintained from office to office and year to year. Its long but well worth watching and sharing.
