KAP Makes Canada Grain Act Review Submission

Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) has made a submission to the Canada Grain Act review.

"I think the overall messaging is that through committee meetings and consultations and producer engagement, I would say the vast majority of producers want to see the grain commission maintain its role and be able to be oversight for the grain industry. I think the primary concern is to protect producers' rights and interests," commented KAP President Bill Campbell. "We deal with a few things with regards to the grading and the dockage, some of those aspects. There's the mandate of enforcement of the powers that the grain commission has. Also producer protection payments with regards to licensing of facilities."

White rot, also known as sclerotinia, is a common agricultural fungal disease caused by various virulent species of Sclerotinia. It initially affects the root system (mycelium) before spreading to the aerial parts through the dissemination of spores.

Sclerotinia is undoubtedly a disease of major economic importance, and very damaging in the event of a heavy attack.

All these attacks come from the primary inoculum stored in the soil: sclerotia. These forms of resistance can survive in the soil for over 10 years, maintaining constant contamination of susceptible host crops, causing symptoms on the crop and replenishing the soil inoculum with new sclerotia.
