The Alberta Wheat and Barley Commissions have launched a new joint website at albertawheatbarley.com, the groups says in a news release on March 18.
After months of consultation and work within the commissions’ management team, the website contains numerous new features to help connect farmers to the commissions’ core programs and priorities, the release notes.
“This new combined website is another way our leadership is showcasing the ‘Better Together’ mantra that the commissions continually embrace,” Todd Hames, Alberta Wheat Commission chair, says in the release.
The new website is designed to integrate both brands, while simultaneously providing the option to choose ‘Barley’ or ‘Wheat’ to view the differences in areas such as research, markets and agronomy. Users can toggle between the two using the tab function in the top left navigation.
A new fundamental feature of the website is What Farmers Need to Know Now – a timely news feed highlighting essential updates on agriculture policy, research investments, market access initiatives and other commission related updates, the release says.
