As harvest is in full swing, consider sending your grain samples as a part of the Canadian Grain Commission’s Harvest Sample Program, which is a voluntary program that has been benefiting Canadian grain producers and the entire grain value chain since 1927.
In exchange for your harvest samples, you can receive a personalized crop quality report at no charge that you can use when marketing and delivering your grain.
The harvest samples that producers send to the program each year are essential to maintaining Canada’s grain quality assurance system, as they:
- provide quality data that helps marketers promote domestic and international sales of Canadian grain
- support scientific research to mitigate grain quality and grain safety issues, and to help in the creation of new markets for Canadian crops
- help us evaluate and improve grain grading standards
- help to ensure Canada remains a trusted source of high-quality grain

The Canadian Grain Commission also publishes reports on crop quality, based on scientific analyses of harvest samples. To receive the crop quality reports and other updates by email, sign up at grainscanada.gc.ca/subscription
