Pulse producers who want to grow the province’s pulse industry while developing their own leadership skills are invited to let their names stand for election as an Alberta Pulse Growers (APG) Advisor at their zone meeting this fall.
“Any interested pulse farmers are strongly encouraged to join the APG team,” APG Chair Will Muller said. “I began as an Advisor like most APG Directors, and the experience has been more rewarding than I imagined. Becoming an Advisor is a great way to get more involved in the industry. Each of our five zones has available positions this year. Being elected as a zone Advisor is a good introduction to the organization, working on committees, and improving the future for Alberta pulse farmers.”
A team of Advisors leads extension activities specific to each of APG’s five zones. Directors on APG’s provincial board often serve as Advisors first.
Available positions are presented below, along with this fall’s meeting dates.
| Zone Number | Available Advisor Positions | Meeting Date | Location |
| Zone 1 | 1 | December 8 | Taber |
| Zone 2 | 1 | November 4 | Lacombe |
| Zone 3 | 4 | November 20 | Fort Saskatchewan |
| Zone 4 | 2 | November 17 | Grande Prairie |
| Zone 5 | 2 | November 19 | Vermilion |
Producers must have sold pulses and paid service charges since August 1, 2024 to be eligible as an Advisor. Anyone interested in letting their name stand for an Advisor position is asked to complete and submit a nomination form by Nov. 2, 2026. Each candidate must be endorsed by another pulse producer from their zone. The form is available here .
The Alberta Pulse Growers Commission represents 5,400 growers of field pea, dry bean, lentil, chickpea, faba bean, lupin and soybean in Alberta. Our vision is to have pulses on every farm, on every plate.
