Learn about grading factors in wheat, canola, flax, barley and pulses along with grain contracts at Grade School 2024!
Grade School is an opportunity for producers to watch in-person grading demonstrations for wheat, barley, pulses, flax and canola. Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) representatives will discuss common grading issues for each crop and answer any questions producers may have. In addition, they will be showing producers how to collect a representative sample of grain and the benefits of utilizing programs such as the Harvest Sample Program and Final Quality Determination. Grade School will also give you the knowledge of how to better negotiate at the local elevator and more!
This event is limited to only 50 registration spots per event, so make sure to sign up early!
