Your Levy Dollars at Work

AGM Alberta Pulse Growers invests grower levy dollars to benefit producers in the following areas:

  1. New variety research to give growers better, more viable varieties.
  2. Agronomy research to help producers with issues like disease and pest control.
  3. Market development to make sure pulse growers remain competitive with other crop types.
  4. Consumer marketing to build a stronger domestic market for pulses.
  5. Extension and outreach to help producers grow the best pulse crop they can from year to year.
