Assess canola quality with the CGC Harvest Sample Program

Growers who participate in the Canadian Grain Commission’s Harvest Sample Program get an unofficial grade, including dockage, oil content and chlorophyll (green) content for their canola. The CGC also uses the results to estimate the overall quality of Canada’s canola crop.

Register online to receive a harvest sample kit.  Samples are accepted until the end of November but send as soon a harvest is complete.

The program accepts samples from a number of key crops, including major oilseed, cereal and pulse crops grown in Canada.
