Grain Farmers of Ontario will market pooled wheat on farmer’s behalf to take advantage of potential upward trends in the post-harvest marketplace. The wheat pooling program is unique to Grain Farmers of Ontario within the province. No other grain organization in Ontario has a government guaranteed pooling program.

The marketing department also has a number of programs for all farmers. There are a variety of marketing resources tailored to individual needs. The marketing staff is excited to be a competitive option for wheat marketing and a market information leader in Ontario.

If you are looking for a way to keep up with price indications throughout the day you can download the Grain Farmers of Ontario SellSmart App from the App Store or Google Play.
