Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) wants to hear your views on cross cutting crop production issues identified in its Amaethon Report. You can read a quick news post about that report here.
WGRF considers cross cutting issues to be crop production issues common to at least two or more of the 15 crops eligible for WGRF funding (barley, canary seed, canola, chickpea, corn, faba bean, flax, lentil, mustard, oats, pea, soybean, sunflower, wheat and winter cereals).
Examples of cross cutting issues include, but are not limited to soil health or herbicide resistance. WGRF also funds research on individual crops, however Crop Commissions/Associations provide the leadership for crop specific research priorities. Consider attending one or more of the workshops to help shape future research funded by WGRF.
