Grain Contracts

Know what's in your contract

Grain contracts are common marketing tools when selling and delivering canola. With various contracts available to farmers, the terms and conditions vary between buyers, therefore making a direct comparison of their legal nature a challenge.

Knowing what's in (and what's not in) your grain contract is critical to maximizing canola's profitability. Check out CCGA's Practical Guide to Navigate Grain Contracts to learn about common contract features, sample clauses, and practical advice to negotiate and manage contract risk.
