Soybean Samples Help Market Crops Domestically And Internationally

The Canadian Grain Commission is looking for soybean samples for it's annual Harvest Sample Program.

If they get enough samples, the program will generate quality reports on each year's crop.

The Commission says those reports provide vital quality information to domestic and international buyers.

Soy Canada uses those reports to help market soybeans on a domestic platform and on an international scale.

Producers who sign up get a kit including postage-paid grain envelopes.

Producers who send a sample get a free Canadian Grain Commision grade and quality results for a marketing edge.

Soybean growers interested in the program can register on-line at www.grainscanada.gc.ca.
