Note to subscribers: Planting a new seed for Grainews

Growing the kernels of insight you rely on

Published: January 2, 2026

Western Producer editor Robin Booker walks us through some of the changes you'll notice in this week's edition of the Western Producer.

Grainews is evolving, and we’re excited about what’s next. Starting in February, you’ll find Grainews inside The Western Producer as part of a new Farm Work section.

Why we’re excited

Farmers told us they want one place to get everything they need for the farm. We listened. By joining The Western Producer, we can bring you the same practical, trusted content you expect from Grainews in a more seamless package.
