A Potential Merger Between Alberta Wheat And Alberta Barley Moves A Step Closer

It looks like Alberta wheat and barley producers could soon see a plebiscite on the future of the commissions. 

Farmers taking part in the  Alberta Wheat Commission's Annual General Meeting this week passed a resolution that enables the group to pursue a plebiscite on a potential amalgamation with Alberta Barley.

Alberta Barley passed a similar resolution during their AGM in Banff last month. 

In 2018, the two organizations merged their leadership and administrative teams, which has already reportedly saved the groups over $400 thousand dollars a year.
