Fall 2025 Elections

To be eligible for nomination, farmers must grow wheat or barley in their respective region and have paid check-off to Alberta Grains, either the current or previous two fiscal years.

Nomination forms must be signed by at least three eligible producers from within the nominee’s region, and accompanied by the written consent of the eligible producer who is being nominated in that region.

Once nominated, potential directors and delegates will be elected at their respective Regional Meeting, which are held across the province throughout November 2025. For more information on Regional Meetings, visit our Events page.

Those elected to director and delegate positions will assume their roles following the Alberta Grains Annual General Meeting held at the CrossRoads Crop Conference in January 2026.

Nomination forms must be returned in writing to the commissions' office by October 31, 2025.

Alberta Grains is a commission run for farmers, by farmers. At regional meetings each fall, eligible producers have the opportunity to accept nominations to represent the commission through the election of regional directors and delegates.

Each region in the province has two regional director positions and four delegate positions within their constituency. These roles allow the opportunity for farmers from across the province to put their names forward and make their voices heard as to what is needed to drive both the commission and agriculture forward in Alberta. Both director and delegate positions are eligible for per diem and travel expense reimbursement outlined in the commission's policy handbook.

Directors

Director responsibilities include attending Alberta Grains board meetings, the annual general meeting, various committee meetings, and an annual regional meeting. Additionally, directors represent Alberta Grains on various third-party councils and committees as well as at numerous community and industry events. Eligible producers elect the directors.

Farmers interested in becoming directors must have their names put forward through the nomination forms that will be available in September 2025.
