Nominations are open for spots on the first board of directors for Alberta Grains.

It was recently formed when Alberta Barley and the Alberta Wheat Commission merged.

There are 12 spots on the board, two per region. The organization said in a release that farmers from all sizes of operations and backgrounds are encouraged to take part.

The Alberta Canola Producers Commission says nominations for its Board of Directors elections are now open in four regions.

That includes Region 2, which takes in the County of Grande Prairie, the MDs of Greenview and Spirit River, and Birch Hills and Saddle Hills Counties.
