Alberta Canola Producers Launch Mobile
Website
Canola growers will now have better
access to canola prices, news and
agronomic information 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.
"Producers want the ability to monitor
the canola futures 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.”

The ACPC is a farmer governed, farmer
funded, refundable checkoff organization
serving canola growers in Alberta.
