The Canadian Grain Commission harvest sample program is now open. The free program gives producers a host of info that can be used when marketing or delivering grain.
This includes an unofficial grade; dockage for canola; protein content for cereals and pulses; oil, protein and chlorophyll content for canola; falling number for wheat and rye; and vomitoxin (deoxynivalenol or DON) levels for wheat, corn and barley.
To participate, sign up at the Canadian Grain Commission website, and the commission will send a kit including prepaid return envelopes.
