First Year as a Director with the Alberta Canola Board

Jeff Frost, a farmer from the Olds area, has just completed his first year as the Region 8 director on the Alberta Canola board. Frost joined the board in January 2024 following the organization’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and says the experience has been both eye-opening and rewarding.

“If there wasn’t a commission for canola or for grains or pulses, there would be a significant gap,”. “These groups give farmers a voice, whether it’s in policy discussions or industry developments. Without them, we’d lack the support and representation we need to stay competitive and address challenges.”
