The CWB offers administration services to farmers who load and ship producer cars. Producer car documents are provided in the 'Related information' box on the right-hand side of this page.
Farmer instructions - This guide provides step-by-step instructions for ordering and loading producer cars, as well as important information on administration fees. Please read these instructions first, especially if you have never loaded producer cars before.
Application form - The producer car application must be completed to order a producer car.
Declaration of eligibility - Producers are required to declare that the variety is eligible for the class of wheat they are shipping. Producer car shippers need to declare only once each crop year; if they are using multiple administrators, they will have to sign a declaration for each administrator.
Bill of lading/settlement form - This form is to be completed upon loading of the producer car and immediately forwarded to both the railway and the CWB. See page 2 for important information on fees for submitting the bill of lading.

New – CGC Producer Car application fee
Effective for the 2010-11 crop year, the CWB will deduct the CGC producer car application fee at the time of settlement for CWB administered cars. Do not submit payment to the CGC as the CWB will submit it on your behalf.
