Producer Grading Schools

SaskCanola, SaskBarley, and Sask Wheat are holding a couple of Producer Grading Schools next week.

Grading Schools are set for Tuesday, November 27 in Swift Current and Wednesday, November 28 in Humboldt.

It’s an opportunity for farmers to learn more about degrading factors in wheat, barley and canola.

Representatives from the Canadian Grain Commission will provide grading demonstrations for producers and discuss the impact of degrading factors and proper sampling techniques.

Canadian International Grains Institute technical staff will demonstrate the impacts of degrading factors on end product quality for wheat and explain the quality requirements for Canadian wheat around the world.

Six hundred Canadian farms grow grain for Warburton's under custom contract — and that partnership exists because of Canadian plant breeding. Now the man responsible for maintaining it is sounding the alarm.

Adam Dyck is the program manager for Warburton's Canada, a company that produces over two million loaves of bread a day for more than 20,000 retail locations across the UK. He's watched Canadian wheat deliver thirty years of yield gains and quality advancements that make it worth sourcing at scale — and shipping across the Atlantic. But he's also watching the investment conditions that produced those gains come under pressure. Dyck makes the case for a new funding mechanism that brings both public and private dollars into wheat breeding before Canada's competitive window starts to close.
