Our PGR School went well, with about 40 people joining us. Recordings of our online events are posted here.
Seed treating and shipping has been steady over the past 2 weeks with the great weather. Unfortunately we did have 3 pivot corner arms collapse in the wind last week and some bin damage.

At the present time the contracts are only for Southern Alberta on irrigation. Feed Grains, Durum, Flax, & Peas selling well! What to grow in 2021? New crop prices flax, peas, durum, and feed grains look very good and that means seed sales are very strong and supplies won't last long. Cereals we have that sell into the feed market include: SWGP AAC Awesome VB - GP soft wheat with top yields SWSW AAC Paramount VB - SWSW with excellent yields GP Wheat - KWS Alderon - GP red wheat with top yields Barley 6 row feed / silage - AB Cattlelac Barley 2 row feed - CDC Austenson Triticale - Sunray Need A Versatile Silage Option? Sunray spring triticale had massive yields for us in 2020. At 148 bu per ac for field averages beating our soft wheat. This would translate into silage yield very well. In 2019 (drought year) it was grown on dryland and yielded about 40% more vs durum beside it. Triticale can tolerate tougher soil and drought conditions because of its more fibrous root system. Clean Seed On Hand & Ready To Ship: We have AAC Chrome & AAC Delhi Peas, FB 9-4, Fabelle & Snowbrid Faba Beans, Redberry & LeRoy VB HRS Wheat, Alloy & Succeed VB Durum & AB Cattlelac 6 Row Barley, AAC Awesome GP Soft Wheat, AAC Wheatland HRSW, CDC Dorado Yellow / Golden Flax & CDC Austenson 2 Row Barley, Bill Coors 100 Malt Barley, Sunray spring triticale, cleaned and ready to pickup. We are now cleaning AAC Marvelous Brown Flax and hope to have clean results back on the first week of February. Next on the list is AAC Paramount VB soft wheat and then Esma 2 Row Barley.

I hope you have had a good Christmas season and a Happy New Year!
Below is the link for our Manipulator PGR School. Looking forward to seeing you Wednesday evening at 7:00pm. It's been a nice winter so far, with highs of +10° and very little snow on the ground. We have been keeping busy shipping high volumes of seed out. As well as taking advantage of the warm temperatures has kept our seed treatment plant busy. We like to treat when its over -5°C in the winter, the grain temperature is normally 5°-15°C. Any colder and the risk of flaking off or treatment not fully drying the seed could be worse. We are treating a bit of durum seed this week and have some AAC Redberry HRSW & Chrome Yellow Peas shipping out. This is the time we are also servicing pivots, working on machinery, planning for next seasons crops and employee needs as well as doing employee evaluations. If you know of someone looking for seasonal or flexible work or even full time send them to our employment page. On the Seed side we are needing help for:
On the Farming side we often need seasonal people in:
For the right person we have had 1-2 month options for people who want flexibility in what they want to do in their summer or fall time. Most crop sales seem normal other than flax and lentils are up vs some years. We are seeing more feed wheat types sold, such as soft wheats, CPS & triticale but barley sales seem to be near normal.
