Quality of western Canadian canola varieties 2023

This report presents harvest quality data for Canadian canola varieties grown in 2023. Canola samples were submitted to the Canadian Grain Commission’s Harvest Sample Program by producers and grain companies. Quality data is compiled from the results of analytical tests performed by the Oilseeds program staff from the Grain Research Laboratory.
