Northern Canola Growers Association
Canola growers are urged to participate in a recently developed survey by North Dakota State Univer Mission Statement The mission of the Northern Canola Growers Association is to promote and encourage the establishment and maintenance of conditions favorable to the production, marketing, processing, research, and use of canola.

Step 1: First the seed is thoroughly cleaned. Step 2: Next the seed is pre-condition with heat and then flaked using rollers. This ruptures cells and makes the oil easier to extract.
