How can you prevent treated seed from contaminating your grain delivery? Follow these 5 steps: 1. Clean up spills and dispose of leftover treated seed as required by your province or municipality 2. Use a seed bag collection program if one is available in your area 3. Use dedicated bins for treated seed if you can 4. Clean all equipment, bins and vehicles thoroughly after seeding and before harvest... 5. Visually inspect equipment and bins for treated seed before harvest, before transferring grain between bins and before transferring grain to a truck or railcar for delivery Learn more about keeping treated seed out of your grain delivery: http://ow.ly/g2Ff50E9rG0 See more

Our scientists use this test to assess end-use quality of wheat flour by inflating the dough into a bubble to measure viscoelastic properties. Viscoelastic properties include how the dough flows, stretches and bounces back. More on our research: http://ow.ly/X3f150DXveV #CdnAg

If you disagree with a grain elevator’s assessment of your grain, you can dispute more than just the grade. You can request a second assessment from the Canadian Grain Commission for any individual grading factor or moisture, protein or dockage. http://ow.ly/Tav450DE7Dh
