1908 to 1928. The Grain Growers Guide was the United Grain Growers Association's weekly newspaper in Western Canada. The paper was the most circulated farm paper in the region, and was "the most important publication of the early farm movement" (The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan as cited in Peel's Prairie Provinces, n.d.). It was created to give readers information about subjects related to both politics and agriculture (Kelcey & Davis, n.d.), and kept farmers informed about the world outside of the Prairies. Readers were encouraged to write in and participate in discussion on these topics.

Grain Growers Guide also included information for women regarding suffrage, motherhood and marriage, etc. (Kelcey & Davis, n.d.) Commentators included noted figures such as Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, and Violet McNaughton (Macpherson, 2013). An editorial comment section was also featured, where women discussed many issues including eugenics and its involvement with child rearing and parenthood, which helped create discussion around the issue and highlight its importance in Western Canada.

Certain years of the paper can be accessed at the Peel Prairie Provinces.
