Farmers are being reminded to take part in the Canadian Grain Commission's (CGC)  Harvest Sample Program.

Dr Sean Walkowiak, a research scientist with the CGC's Grain Lab, says under the program, farmers send in crop samples and in turn, receive free unofficial grade and quality information which is helpful when marketing your grain.

"This information helps support that research to be able to understand what the harvest is looking at on a larger scale.
