Organic
agriculture
Consumer demand for organic products continues to grow.
In addition to being in harmony with the environment, it also
increases the profitability of your farmland.

We offer several varieties that are well adapted to organic
agriculture, offering good tolerance to diseases as well as,
lodging. In addition, our team of agronomic experts will guide
you through field management solutions and practices that will
assure a successful crop.

                                                                 19
Certified
     Seed producer
     ARE YOU THE BEST OF THE BEST?
     If you’re a perfectionist at heart and quality is something you pride yourself with,
     you may be eligible to become one of our certified seed growers. Certified seed
     growers are those we use to grow soybean that will be used as certified seed for
     other producers the following crop season. Offering high quality certified seed
     is an important factor in having a great harvest. This is why we take selecting our
     certified growers very seriously.

     What does it take to become a certified seed producer? First, you must be a
     member of the Canadian Seed Grower’s Association (CSGA) and meet all of the
     characteristics they require. Your certified seed fields will, amongst other things,
     be inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) at maturity and
     prior to the harvest. Consequently, you need to make quality your number one
     priority every step of the way. If your harvest meets the established requirements,
     you will receive a very interesting extra premium for your efforts! Sounds
     interesting? Make sure to ask your representative how to qualify.
