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."

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision


Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
