Farmers Encouraged To Sign Up For Harvest Sample Program

The Canadian Grain Commission’s Harvest Sample Program is gearing up.

Farmers are asked to submit a grain sample in-turn to help promote two wheat classes with significant untapped market potential.

The quality characteristics of Canada Prairie Spring Wheat (CPSR) and Canada Western Red Winter Wheat (CWRW) will be highlighted in new crop missions in key Canadian wheat markets in November and December 2014.

Growers are also encouraged to submit samples of these varieties to the program, along with Canada Western Red Spring Wheat (CWRS) and Canada Western Amber Durum (CWAD).

The Canadian Harvest Sample Program provides potential customers with key data that better informs them of Canada’s high quality wheat properties for each crop year.  

Growers can submit samples in harvest sample envelopes supplied by the CGC, highlighting both the class and the variety grown.

Growers that wish to sign up for the free harvest sample can do so by contacting the Canadian Grain Commission.
