For all farmers. This is a topic I feel all should be more informed about. This simple change in policy would bring so much more grain market data transparency to you for better marketing decisions. For example maybe your canola basis for new crop wouldn’t be -60. Maybe wheat basis levels wouldn’t widen out with every futures rally.

Canada may be one of the world’s largest agricultural exporters, but grain producers are operating at a major market intelligence disadvantage. An Export Sales Reporting program in Canada can level the playing field – making Canada more competitive. See how we do it: saskoilseeds.com/export-sales-r…

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Grain Growers of Canada, an important agricultural organization that brings together national, provincial, and regional member organizations from across the country, representing a unified voice for the Canadian grains sector. I was pleased to make a statement in the @SenateCA earlier today to celebrate this exciting milestone @GrainGrowers!

@SenatorRobBlack This was a great meeting. Thank you Senator Black

Did you know that the Canadian grains sector generates over $45 billion in exports each year? I was pleased to meet with the Grain Growers of Canada earlier today to discuss some of the pressing issues impacting this sector and I enjoyed attend their Parliamentary Reception to celebrate their 25th anniversary! Congratulations on this milestone and thank you for all you do @GrainGrowers! @SenateCA

@acoyne How many cameras?

He’s basically the William Hurt character from Broadcast News.

Keep your four-way flashing lights OFF when you are driving with traffic, even if the driving conditions are less than ideal. But always drive with your full headlighting and tail lighting systems turned on - day and night. #BeSeen You can use your four-way way flashing lights momentarily if you're coming to a sudden and unexpected slow down or stop on the highway. Only use four-ways continously when your vehicle IS the hazard. For example, stopped and blocking a live lane. ^ks

SaskOilseeds Market Development Manager took in some “food for thought” at @FoodIntegrityCA’s “Fear, Facts, and Food: The Fight for Trust” conference. The main topic of conversation was how “fear-fluencing”, the spread of fear through misinformation, is shaping perceptions of food, health, and sustainability. #canola #CanolaOil #CookingWithCanola

SaskOilseeds staff and board took part in Lobby Day on the Hill this week. Key priorities discussed to keep Canadian #canola globally competitive were: 1️⃣ Preserving Access to International Markets. 2️⃣ Supporting a Made-in-Canada Biofuels Sector. #cdnag #cdnpoli

Can you even imagine a pre-tomato Italy?! Weird to think that the entire history of the Roman Empire was tomato-free. 🍅 🇮🇹 🚫

That’s a wrap on #GrainsWeek in Ottawa! Thank you to all the parliamentarians who met with grain farmers from across Canada to discuss how we can keep the sector strong and competitive at home and abroad. Until next time! #cdnpoli

📍 New on Sparks Street: GGC is calling for action on the biggest challenges facing farmers. From trade and infrastructure to capital gains, our ads put grain farmers’ priorities front and centre as producers are in Ottawa for #GrainsWeek

Appreciate MP @GrantJacksonMP taking the time to meet with our members, highlighting grain sector priorities and GGC’s model grain bins #GrainsWeek #cdnpoli #cdnag

Thank you MP @BradleyVis for meeting with GGC members during #GrainsWeek2025 to discuss trade-enabling infrastructure and the need to reverse the capital gains changes. Strengthening Canada’s grain supply chain keeps farmers competitive. #GrainsWeek #cdnpoli #cdnag
