More information available to Saskatchewan canola growers

Vital information for canola farmers will now be available on their handheld devices.

The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission (SaskCanola) has created a new communications platform. The interactive texting service will give SaskCanola the ability to communicate more directly with its membership by sharing real-time, customized updates.

Farmers who subscribe will receive a weekly oilseeds market outlook report provided by market analyst Marlene Boersch. The information will include domestic and global influences on canola market prices.

Farmers will also receive Canola Watch, a weekly canola production newsletter during the growing season. SaskCanola will also use the service to send notices on upcoming events and to send urgent news and alerts.
