July 3, 2014 – Winnipeg, Manitoba – Canadian Grain Commission
For the 2014-15 crop year, the Canadian Grain Commission is launching an online producer car application at www.grainscanada.gc.ca. Beginning July 7, 2014, producers who administer their own producer cars, producer car administrators and agents may register for an account in the online system. On July 14, 2014, the online system will begin accepting applications for producer cars.
Producers who administer their own cars, producer car administrators and agents must first register for a user account in the new system before they can submit applications.
All outstanding producer car applications from the 2013-14 crop year will be carried into the new crop year at no charge to producers and with no need to reapply for those cars.
