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.

New Crop Contracts New Crop Contracts with XPT Grain Delhi - Jumbo Yellow Pea This variety has a large seed size and yields have been very good for customers.
