Did you send in your CGC harvest sample?

Farmers are being reminded to take part in the Canadian Grain Commission's (CGC)  Harvest Sample Program.

Dr Sean Walkowiak, a research scientist with the CGC's Grain Lab, says under the program, farmers send in crop samples and in turn, receive free unofficial grade and quality information which is helpful when marketing your grain.

"This information helps support that research to be able to understand what the harvest is looking at on a larger scale. Then we can use that information to help promote the Canadian brand because we do have top-notch quality in Canadian grain and it's important that we be able to demonstrate that using science-based evidence."  

In exchange for your samples, you’ll receive the following results that you can use when marketing and delivering your grain.
