Grain Growers of Canada, the national voice of Canada's grain farmers, has launched a new logo and website.

Olds area farmer and President Jeff Nielsen says it's the ideal time to reach policy makers and consumers with the voices of grain farmers from across the country.

He says the new logo reflects the range and dynamic nature of grain farming.

The agriculture and agri-food sector's exceptional economic potential was recently recognized by the federal government's Advisory Council on Economic Growth which singled out ag-food as a key growth sector, ready for investment.

Throughout the website http://www.graingrowers.ca/ the voices of grain farmers speak directly to how government policy affects them and their ability to earn a living.

Regulatory issues of focus include: transportation, business risk management, trade, sustainability and research.

For consumers and educators, resources are available for those looking to learn more about the food they eat and the people who grow it.
