Canola Discovery Forum, October 25-27 in Winnipeg, brought together 150-200 researchers, growers, industry representatives and extension staff for presentations and discussions to discover canola research needs and knowledge gaps. Here are my observations.
Canola Digest asks six farmers how they move their grain to market, why they chose ‘do it yourself’ or custom, and what the benefits, challenges and frustrations are with their system.
SaskCanola, Alberta Canola and Manitoba Canola Growers are farmer-run organizations, so they need passionate farmers to run for board elections. Are you ready to put your name forward? This article describes the requirements and rewards of joining a board.
