The Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO) is looking for farmers in the province to help test grow cereal rye as a means to determine future opportunities.
Growers of cereal rye told the GFO that they are looking to increase future opportunities for cereal rye and want them to consider adding it to their mandate.
If the GFO were to add it to its mandate, it needs to look at leveraging agronomic research, market development, public communication, and advocacy for programs and policies for cereal rye.
