The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) says that this year, it will be easier and faster for producers to get their harvest sample program results.

As soon as a sample is analyzed, producers will automatically get an email with their free unofficial grade and quality results as long as they provided a current email address.

In addition, producers can also call 1-888-324-2248, email harvest-recolte@grainscanada.gc.ca or get their results online at www.grainscanada.gc.ca.

To take part in the program, producers use postage-paid grain envelopes from their harvest sample kits to send the CGC samples of grain from their harvest.

The CGC uses these samples to generate annual harvest quality reports.

Producers have until December 31 to submit their samples.
