Canola Week 2024 will open with the Canola Industry Meeting on Tuesday (December 3), to recap key topics from this season and update on the state of the industry. The Canola Discovery Forum (December 4), will then provide a deep dive into nutrient management, including increased alignment on research priorities and areas of greatest opportunity across the value chain. The final day will wrap up with an inspiring, research-oriented Canola Innovation Day, on Thursday (December 5).
