This year’s Canola Digest Science Edition featuring the latest research findings is now available at canoladigest.ca. The print edition should have arrived in your mailbox in November. The Science Edition focuses on summaries and key results from recently completed research and provides updates on ongoing projects, many of which are funded by Alberta Canola, SaskCanola and the Manitoba Canola Growers and/or are administered by the Canola Council of Canada.
