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.

Video: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
