After the successful and unforgettable 2017 CAAR Conference, we're already getting ready for next year's!

CAAR is excited to announce the launch of our new Refer a Retailer campaign! From now until Jan. 18, 2018, we invite you to refer non-member retailers to become CAAR members so they can experience the same great benefits of CAAR membership that you know and love.

CAAR members are represented by a strong, national voice dedicated to advocating on your behalf and making your voice heard on the issues and initiatives shaping the industry. The more members CAAR has, the stronger our voice becomes and the more value we will continue to offer.

As you know, Canada is a leader in providing high quality grains to markets around the world. But shipments containing even the smallest amount of unacceptable residue can lead to exports being rejected, causing millions of dollars in losses and putting future business with our export partners at risk. That’s why it is crucial for Canadian growers to follow best practices when using crop protection products — to protect their incomes, and the entire ag value chain.

With much of Manitoba receiving heavy snowfall in February and March and with spring upon us, many retailers and their customers are now thinking about the possibility of spring flooding. On March 24, Minister of Infrastructure Blaine Pedersen, issued the latest update on the province’s flood outlook. The level of flooding remains dependent on future weather conditions, and the risk of overland flooding has been slightly reduced since the last update in February. However, the risk still remains moderate to major across the province.
