This is a FREE opportunity for growers to gain unofficial insight into the quality of their grain and to obtain valuable dockage information and details associated with damage or quality issues. The data collected also helps Canada market its grain to the world!

In exchange for your samples, the CGC assesses and provides the following unofficial results FOR FREE:
• Unofficial grade*
