Amalgamation survey for AWC and Alberta Barley

Aug 13, 2021 | 1:04 PM

CALGARY, AB. — The Alberta Wheat and Barley Commissions have launched an online survey to consult with farmers on amalgamating the two organizations.

The commissions have been operating with one management team since 2018 serving two boards with separate financial structures.

This consultation comes as a result of resolutions passed at the 2019 annual general meetings for both the Alberta Wheat Commission and Alberta Barley.

The commissions were challenged to complete a comprehensive review and consult with farmers on the potential to formally merge.

The farmer consultations include an online survey, a series of town hall events in October, and further dialogue during regional meetings in November.
