Did you know that Canadian farmers are eligible for a free grain sample assessment from the Canadian Grain Commission as part of its annual Harvest Sample Program?

Farmers who sign up for this FREE program will receive a kit to mail in their grain samples at no extra cost. For each sample, they’re provided with an unofficial grade and quality results, including:

• Falling Number for wheat and rye
• Vomitoxin (deoxynivalenol or DON) levels for wheat, corn, barley and oats
• Dockage assessment on canola and mustard seed
• 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

Take advantage of this free service and gain valuable insights into your product. Understanding the quality of what’s in your bins can help you make more informed marketing decisions. 

Additionally, samples processed through this program will help market Canadian grain, inform CGC’s grain grading standards and contribute to research that benefits producers.
