The high-quality wheat and barley harvested in Western Canada is sought after by customers around the globe. The key to this industry's success rests on the dedication and skill demonstrated by Prairie grain farmers, who rise to challenges and make the most of opportunities; farmers who provide the CWB with an exceptional product to market and meet customer needs.
The CWB recognizes the achievements of farmers through the Master Grower program, which rewards top producers and allows their knowledge to be shared with the western Canadian grain industry.
How it works
Farmers growing Master Grower-eligible crops are asked to submit a grain sample from this year's harvest to the CWB. Samples will be inspected by both CWB and quality experts and will be judged on:
visual quality;
end-use market suitability; and
crop management practices.
Master Growers will be named based on entries achieving the highest overall scores.
For 2006-07, four classes

Farmers wishing to take part in the program will submit grain samples each fall, which will be judged for quality by the CWB and quality experts in early winter.
Master Growers are part of a club recognizing the best efforts of the most successful farmers. Those named Master Growers will also receive:
- CWB leather and melton wool jacket, designating you as a Master Grower;
- Recognition plaque; and
- Invitation to attend a special Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI) course and
Master Growers will also experience the pride of being able to share crop management techniques with CWB staff and fellow farmers. Master Growers' opinions will be sought after and respected and will enhance the strength of Western Canada's grain industry.
Sample envelopes are available from your local Farm Business Representative, from elevator companies and from the CWB main office. Download, fill-out and print-out your entry form directly from the CWB Web site and enclose it with your sample, or call the CWB Business Centre to have one mailed. |
