Canola TV - The Great Plains Canola Association Assisting Producers Across Oklahoma
Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:35:17 CDT
In the newest edition of Canola TV, we sat down with Jeff Scott, a canola producer in northern Oklahoma and member of the Great Plains Canola Association, and discussed the Great Plains Canola Association and how beneficial it has been to canola producers across the state. This grower association was founded by a group of producers in 2005.
However, the association did not hold the first meeting until July 2007. It took almost two years to get the corporation formed but has made great strides in the industry since then says Scott. The Great Plains Canola Association has lobbied Congress for changes in crop insurance and chemical registrations, as well as, passed the oilseed checkoff.
Scott says the Great Plains Canola Association is more of a lobbying branch compared to the Oilseed Commission, which works on funding for research programs. Scott also says the Great Plains Canola Association has been working hand in hand with producers in everything from teaching them how to calibrate their drills, to growing the crop, to scouting.
