Canola & Coffee Speaker Series

Five canola specialists from outside the province were invited to join Ontario producers and agronomists and share their canola expertise in a series of online meetings held from February 9 to March 9, 2022.Those meetings were recorded and the videos are posted below.

Each meeting starts with a presentation by the guest speaker (approx. 30 minutes), followed by questions and answers and some open discussion. The original intent was for each meeting to include a discussion of the challenges in specific canola growing regions of Ontario, but for the most part the group just continued discussing the topics shared by the guest speaker.

The links below will take you to the videos posted on YouTube. If you would like contact info for any of these speakers, send a request to Meghan.Moran@Ontario.ca.
