Canola Community Connections

EVENT:
Canola Week 2024 will be a hybrid event December 3-5 with the in-person portion hosted at TCU Place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Visit the conference website for program information, event details and to register.

PROGRAM:
The Canadian Grain Commission’s voluntary Harvest Sample Program will accept harvest samples of canola and other grains until November 30. In exchange for submitting canola samples, growers get: (1) unofficial grade*, (2) dockage assessment and (3) oil, protein and chlorophyll content. The CGC uses submitted samples to generate quality and safety data that helps marketers promote domestic and international sales of Canadian grain, evaluate the effectiveness of grading factors, and conduct scientific research to mitigate grain quality and grain safety issues. *The grade provided through the Harvest Sample Program is unofficial because samples aren’t collected by a Canadian Grain Commission inspector.
