Canadian Grains Commission release revisions to grain grading guide

The Canadian Grain Commission has released revisions to the 2023 Official Grain Grading Guide. The Official Grain Grading Guide is a complete reference on grading grains, oilseeds and pulses. 

It has been reviewed and adjusted for the 2023-24 crop year to incorporate changes to grade specifications and tolerance levels. Changes are recommended by the Western and Eastern grain standards committees based on findings of previous years. The guide is also reviewed/revised for definitions and grading procedures. 

Updates to the Official Grain Grading Guide came into effect August 1st for the 2023-24 crop year.  

Of note in this update, is the clarity provided in determining dockage for canola for export. For the full list of revision for 2023, visit the Canadian Grain Commission @grainsCanada.gc.ca.

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things. Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
