Farmers have until Nov. 30 to submit samples to the Canadian Grain Commission’s Harvest Sample Program. It’s a voluntary program open to all Canadian grain producers.
In exchange for the samples, they’ll receive valuable insight into the quality of the crop they have available to market this crop year, including:
- Unofficial grade
- Dockage assessment on canola and mustard
- Protein content on barley, beans, chickpeas, lentils, oats, peas and wheat
- Oil, protein and chlorophyll content for canola
- Oil and protein content and iodine value for flaxseed
- Oil and protein for mustard seed and soybeans
- Falling number for wheat and rye
- Vomitoxin (deoxynivalenol or DON) levels for wheat, corn, barley and oats.
