The conference will be held February 19 at the Chisholm Trail EXPO Center, 111 W. Purdue, in Enid, Oklahoma. This conference is sponsored by K-State, Oklahoma State University, Great Plains Canola Association, and partners from the canola industry.

There was excellent participation at the Canola College in 2014 and we have every reason to believe that the crowd will be even larger in 2015.

This is the premier canola education/training event in the region.  The hard work of so many is paying off as the canola industry continues to gain momentum. Anyone with an interest in canola production will want to be a part of this event.”
