Alberta Barley, Alberta Canola Producers Commission (ACPC), Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) and Alberta Pulse Growers (APG) once again invite producers to a grading workshop following the success of last year’s event.

This year’s Making the Grade workshop will take place July 26 at Lakeland College in Vermilion and will include sessions from experienced industry speakers on barley, wheat, canola and, new for this year, pulse grading.

“Last year’s Making the Grade proved to be a valuable tool in addressing knowledge gaps in grain grading,” said Terry Young, AWC and ACPC director and member of the Western Grain Standards Committee’s wheat subcommittee. “Understanding grain grading and factors affecting quality is important for all crop producers as it affects their bottom line.”

Producers will participate in hands-on grading workshops for barley, canola, wheat and pulses. Speakers representing organizations such as the Canadian Grains Commission and the Canadian International Grains Institute will guide participants through the details of grading parameters and practices.
