southern MN | I would certainly think it affects grain quality.
Net price? It affects how much fits in a load, unless you aren’t filling your conveyances so hopper, grain cart, wagons are more efficiently loaded. Bin space is better utilized. And so on.
Gross price to the elevator? Too low a test weight gets docked. In small grains it seems be very important, in corn and beans there is a bigger window if you don’t care.
To a livestock operation? Good test weight feeds better so it matters to them. Possibly they pay a bonus for it, possibly it is just their gain.
I prefer getting a good test weight. That doesn’t always happen.
