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.
