About Shore & Grain

Last updated: April 28, 2026

Shore & Grain is an informational archive focused on grain farming and coastal agriculture across Canada. The content covers wheat, canola, and barley production in the prairie provinces, alongside the distinctive farming approaches documented in Atlantic Canada — Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick.

What this site covers

The articles here draw on publicly available agronomic research, crop production data from Statistics Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and the technical literature published by commodity organisations including the Canadian Grain Commission and the Canola Council of Canada.

Topics include variety selection, soil and fertility management, pest and disease identification, harvest timing, on-farm storage, and the geographic and climatic factors that shape production decisions in different parts of the country. Coastal content addresses the specific constraints of shorter growing seasons, tidal influence on soil, and the mixed farming systems common in Atlantic Canada.

Who manages the content

Shore & Grain is operated by a small team based in Edmonton, Alberta, with an interest in Canadian agricultural history and current production practices. Content is reviewed and updated periodically to reflect current variety registrations, regulatory changes, and published research. Articles carry update dates so readers can assess how current the information is.
