CONGRATULATIONS
Message fromthe primeministerON behalfof theGovernmentof canada
I AM PLEASED TO EXTEND MY
warmest greetings to the staff and readers
of
GrainsWest
on the occasion of the
publication’s inaugural edition.
I have tremendous respect for the
farmers, processors and shippers who
ensure the continued vitality of Canada’s
grains industry. From family farms to large-
scale operations, grain farming is a key
component of our prosperity. The grains
sector has overcome many challenges
to endure and thrive as an innovative
industry with a strong future.
Our government is dedicated to
securing the industry’s continued
development and success. Grain farmers
now have an opportunity to compete
in an open market where they are able
to respond to demands with innovative
farming and processing practices. We will
continue to work to open newmarkets
and provide new avenues of success for
the industry.
GrainsWest
will be a valuable forum for
examining issues facing the industry and
promoting the interests of grain farmers.
I congratulate the publication on this
launch and commend all who contributed
to bringing this publication to press. On
behalf of the Government of Canada,
please accept my sincere congratulations
and best wishes for great success.
The Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper
, PC, MP
PrimeMinister of Canada

Alberta’s grain farmers are an integral
part of our agriculture community and it
is wonderful to see a new grain industry
publication created in partnership with
the Alberta Wheat Commission and
Alberta Barley.
Our government is committed to a
strong and vibrant agriculture sector.

for our agricultural products in Canada
and around the world.
Innovation will be pivotal to our
ongoing success. In today’s competitive

ways of doing things so that we can
adapt to the evolving needs of our
customers and seek out exciting new
