March 4, 2025 (Ottawa, ON) – Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) is sounding the alarm on the United States’ decision to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian grain and grain products, a move that threatens the viability of family-run grain farms and drives up food costs for American consumers.

Canola is the single largest contributor to farm crop cash receipts – grown by nearly 40,000 farmers across the country.
