Canadian Canola Growers Association started in 1984, when a group of canola farmers from Western Canada came together to give farmers access to the same financing program that had been available on cereal grains for many years.

Jason Fockler and Warren Pridham use their variable-rate fertilizer maps to also apply variable-rate canola seed. With more seed applied to higher mortality areas, the result is a more even stand.

Levels of plant-available phosphorus are drifting lower in many fields of Western Canada, and this “hidden hunger” will be hurting yields. Phosphorus rates that at least match crop removal are necessary to maintain soil productivity.

Keep it Clean! is a joint initiative of the Canola Council of Canada, Cereals Canada and Pulse Canada, working together to provide growers like you with tools and resources for growing crops that meet the requirements of our domestic and export customers.

The Canola Council of Canada and Canadian Canola Growers Association partnered to survey wetlands for neonic residue, providing the data to the PMRA for its review of neonic seed treatments. Of the 157 samples taken, 80 per cent had no neonics detected and the other 20 per cent had extremely low levels.
