The Canadian Seed Growers Association has added a way for growers to add carry over seed inventories to the Online Pedigree Seed Locator as well as the provincial seed guides. Up until recently, only fields that were inspected in current year were listed in these. Now with this, it provides a great opportunity for growers to advertise and sell carry over seed! It only takes a few minutes to do it. All you need is your CSGA Login and Password and the valid crop certificate of the carryover seed lot. Attached is a quick step by step guide, and we encourage everyone to take a moment to do it.

(Jan 15/2019) The Western Canada Crop Production Show (WCCPS) in Saskatoon, Sask has come and gone. It was good to see everyone at the show and see everyone taking in Crop Sphere, and the Saskatchewan Seed Growers meeting. What a busy time for the staff of Alliance Seed! We were pumped to have the RealAg Radio team join us in the Alliance Seed booth this year. We were also fortunate to have some meet some new friends as Jessika Guse did the top ag news stories of the day; and then Shaun interviewed Chris. Shaun also interview Tom Wolf, of Sprayer 101 about how implementing a small change to your sprayer can have a major impact on results, and he was also joined by Tim Burrack, vice chairman of the Global Farmer Network, policy.

Learn about all the varieties we have to offer and information on where to buy! Alliance Seed Guide – 2017 alliance | Published: May 4, 2017 Pedigreed Seed Achieves Results At Alliance Seed, we are passionate about using certified seed to produce a STRONG DEPENDABLE VIGOROUS Crop each and every time you go to the field. So thanks to our friends from Seed Hawk for the opportunity to talk about a subject that is so close to our hearts here at Alliance Seed. In this blog, Alliance Seed’s Chris Churko outlines a few key strategies that growers should consider to achieve their desired results, from considering the variety selected, to the economic benefit of using certified seed. http://seedhawkseeder.com/blog/pedigreed-seed-achieves-results alliance | Published: April 6, 2016 IS THAT A DRONE I SEE? Like most people, I am pretty interested in drones and the technology associated with them and the implications for agriculture. I actually spent $100 on some semblance of a drone from Amazon, but 5 tries, 5 dog bites (on the drone) and eight months later it is collecting dust in my basement. Enter Matthew Johnson of M3 Aerial Productions to help. Matthew is a drone service provider and is reaching out to the agriculture industry to offer his extensive services. So you could spend roughly $2,500+ to purchase a well-equipped industrial strength drone, invest the time to properly learn how to fly it, and then maintain/service the equipment and batteries. You would also need to learn how to capture the desired data/images and how to process/interpret this data. But why not hire someone like Matthew. For most people, operating a drone is not their core business/competency and without proper expertise/training accidents are bound to occur. Improperly operated, drones have the potential to quickly become like flying lawn mowers – hurting people and/or ruining property and the equipment. Spending a few thousand dollars to buy a camera does not make one qualified as a commercial photographer nor does buying a computer/calculator qualify one as an accountant. Matthew has provided some information on his service and what he offers as a service. If you are interested in more information, please visit his website or contact him directly. Watch for him at an Alliance Seed site this summer.
