Alliance Seed was honored to become an exhibitor at Agri-trade Equipment Expo in Red Deer for first time November 6-8, 2019.

Colin Tanner is always in his happy place talking about varieties and getting feedback and giving advice.

CARRYOVER SEED PROCEDURE FOR CSGA

Great news for everyone! 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.
