Keep treated seed out of your grain deliveries

Treated seed residues can present a serious risk to human and animal health at certain levels. Grain elevators must maintain a zero tolerance for treated seed in grain deliveries.

Canadian grain producers can help maintain Canada’s reputation for high-quality grain by ensuring their grain deliveries do not contain treated seed residues by:

• cleaning up spills and disposing of leftover treated seed as required by their province or municipality
• using a seed bag collection program if one is available in their area
• using dedicated bins for treated seed if they can
• clean all equipment, bins and vehicles thoroughly after seeding and before harvest
• visually inspecting equipment and bins for treated seed:
  • before harvest
  • before transferring grain between bins
  • before transferring grain to a truck or railcar for delivery

We would appreciate our local farmers to attend and have their say because your opinion matters!

We had many customer inquiries looking for wheat to buy last spring. You asked and We listened! For the first time in many years, we are going to sell CPS & HR Wheat at our plant in spring of next year.

It’s harvest time once again! We are starting to see customers book cleaning appointments this month and with that is summer pricing. Did you know that our cleaning rates are cheaper in summer than in winter for seed cleaning? December 1st is when our cleaning rates increase, so book your cleaning early to save!

Keep in mind that we require fusarium testing for all seed cleaning appointments and most people want to guarantee that their seed will grow first with germination testing so that can mean up to a 14-day delay for testing prior to cleaning.

Thankfully a lot of the province received some much-needed rain in the last couple of weeks to help our dry crops. Many farmers can now breathe a sigh of relief as local crops are starting to look promising. Let’s hope this month continues to go well for us weather wise!
