Grain grading school offered to growers

Farmers will have an opportunity to learn more about the process involved to determine the quality of their grain.

During Grade School 2023 producers can watch in-person grading demonstrations for wheat, barley, flax and canola. Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) representatives will discuss common degrading issues for each crop and answer questions.

There will be information shared on the Harvest Sample Program, Final Quality Determination, and other CGC programming for grain farmers. There will also be presentations from the sponsor crop commissions including Sask Wheat, SaskCanola, Sask Flax and SaskBarley.

The two locations for the grain grading school are Indian Head on Nov. 28 and Swift Current on Nov. 29.

With only a few spots left it’s important to register soon.

There is no cost to attend.

Video: How Does an Anhydrous Ammonia Applicator Work?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
