Responsible Grain Code of Practice consultation deadline extended

Jan 12, 2021

Your opinion is needed on the Responsible Grain Code of Practice. Three more consultation sessions have been added: January 27, 28, and 29, all at 12:00 pm.

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Crops has developed the Responsible Grain Code of Practice, a voluntary, science-based code that demonstrates Canadian grain farmers’ care and commitment to the environment.

Note that some farmers who have registered for Jan 21 will be asked to switch to one of the new dates due to high numbers.

Now that the Code of Practice is developed in draft form, your feedback is needed to ensure the Code is both understandable and adoptable. To receive your invitation to participate in the consultations, please click Register Now and complete the form.
