Canola and feed grain growers will now
have better access to canola and feed
grain prices, from their Blackberries,
iPhones and other smartphones.
The Alberta Canola Producers Commission
(ACPC) has launched a mobile version of
their website at www.m.canola.ab.ca.
"Farmers and ranchers want the ability
to monitor canola and barley futures and
cash feed grains as they are traded
during the day," says Rick Taillieu,
ACPC's Grower Relations & Extension
Coordinator. "Market information is the
most visited section of our main
website, so we designed a mobile version
to allow growers to easily watch the
prices when they are in the field."
The mobile site features ICE canola
futures on a 10 minute delay, daily
crusher prices, and daily country
elevator buying prices for canola,
barley, peas, feed wheat and more.
The mobile site also provides easy
access to agronomic bulletins, coming
events and the contact information for
their Canola Council of Canada
agronomist.
“Alberta’s farmers quickly adopt and
utilize new technology like mobile
devices,” adds Taillieu. “Our goal is to
improve canola producers access to
information as they grow with the
technology.”
