Executive Manager Jake Davidson says efforts to move forward were stymied in the spring after Manitoba's Agriculture Minister appointed a new producer certification board, which only met for the first time in June.
At the June meeting Davidson submitted a petition to start the process.
The vote is tentatively scheduled to be held in October or November, and with a positive outcome the check-off could be up and running by spring 2007.
A check-off was established earlier this year in Saskatchewan, and is set at 50 cents per tonne for winter wheat, fall rye, and winter triticale.
It's expected to raise $150,000 to $200,000 per year.
Davidson expects a similar amount would be raised in Manitoba.
