Challenge Accepted!
Join The Rack on the Ultimate Yield Quest and earn your way towards the networking trip of a lifetime in Tampa Bay, Florida.
For the past seven years, the Ultimate Yield Management Institute, a division of The Rack, has been conducting independent research in pursuit of the ultimate canola yield. By taking an in-depth look at the six factors that affect crop production and addressing each factor individually, we believe a farm’s ultimate yield can be achieved.
To help us prove this on a larger scale, we invite you to join us on the Ultimate Yield Quest!
When you join the Quest you will be participating in a mass data trial on over 100 fields across Saskatchewan to allow us to measure water and nitrogen use efficiency as well as varietal performance on different soil types and in different environments.
Utilizing our new Farm Production Assessment software, we will develop an accurate and comprehensive set of data to further our research and gain insight into furthering our quest for the Ultimate Yield.
And, like all Quests, there are riches and rewards at the end!
To celebrate this exciting opportunity and our upcoming 40-years in business, Quest growers are invited to join us on a legendary trip to Tampa Bay, Feb 20-24, 2024.
Yes, we said LEGENDARY. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get invaluable insight into maximizing the potential of your farm and then joining your fellow farmers for networking, knowledge sharing and a little fun in the sun! This trip is valued at $6,000 (including flights, meals, hotels, excursions etc.) but as a valued customer of The Rack you can earn points that can be redeemed for up to $5,000 against the cash value of the trip!
