The newly launch website brings together four legacy websites, www.gocorn.net, www.gocereals.ca, www.gobeans.ca, and www.gosoy.ca under one cohesive banner. 

The new website was launched by the Ontario Corn Committee (OCC), the Ontario Cereal Crops Committee (OCCC), the Ontario Pulse Crop Committee (OPCC), and the Ontario Soybean and Canola Committee (OSACC) to provide growers with a simpler way to access performance trial data.  

Although active for many years, each of the crop committee websites had its own unique navigation and structures that made the user experience different for each site, the committees said in the release.

The committees agreed that a “more cohesive structure would make it easier for the agricultural community to find information and to intuitively use a single site for access to all the information across crops.”

“With this new website, we are excited to streamline the process for our growers across Ontario to get information regarding variety performance trials across all major crops in one place,” Joanna Follings, chair of the Ontario Cereal Crops Committee, said in a release.

“Providing timely, accurate information in a modern digital format is vitally important for reaching farmers. This new site will help all committees meet this need and we hope to see this become the go-to site for farmers looking for trial information.” GoCrops.ca was funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Grain Farmers of Ontario, and the Ontario Pulse Crop Committee.
