 The Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act takes effect on August 1, 2012. This means barley and wheat producers will have a choice between selling their grain on the open market or through the Canadian Wheat Board.

To help you make a smooth transition, the Government of Alberta is hosting information sessions in the following areas. The session will help you understand what this change means to you, including:

  • Canada’s position in the world markets
  • Pricing in the new system
  • Delivery and grading
  • Transportation and logistics
  • Research and development
  • Farm management implications
All meetings are from 9 a.m.—3:40 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

Please pre-register at least three days prior to your event by calling the Ag-Info Center at 1-800-387-6030.
