Alliance Seed at Agri-trade Equipment Expo & RealAg Radio. (Nov. 6/2019)
Alliance Seed was honored to become an exhibitor at Agri-trade Equipment Expo in Red Deer for first time November 6-8, 2019. What a great show it was considering the weather conditions and the amount of harvest that there is left to do in some areas of Alberta (and the rest of the Prairies) We had a very busy three days at the show, visiting with everyone and talking everything seed and cereals. Colin Tanner is always in his happy place talking about varieties and getting feedback and giving advice.
We were thrilled to have the RealAg Radio team join us in the Alliance Seed booth this year to record that day’s show. Shaun interviewed Jim Bagshaw, the new General Manager of Alliance Seed. Shaun and Jim talked about Jim’s move to Alliance Seed, and what attracted him to Alliance Seed (besides the great staff) and what he sees that sets Alliance Seed from other seed companies. You can listen to Shaun’s interview with Jim here. (Link) And you can listen to the entire broadcast on RealAg Radio, which airs every weekday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. MT) on Rural Radio 147 on SiriusXM or on realagriculture.com
If we didn’t see you at Agri-trade, we hope to see you at the upcoming Crop Production Show, Jan 13-16, 2020 in Saskatoon or Manitoba Ag Days, Jan 21-23,2020, Brandon.

CARRYOVER SEED PROCEDURE FOR CSGA
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.

ALLIANCE SEED on REAL AG RADIO. (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. RealAg Radio airs every weekday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. MT) on Rural Radio 147 on SiriusXM.
2019 is the 10 year Anniversary of Alliance Seed (And the 10th anniversary of Real Ag too!) so Chris and Shaun discussed that along with all the things that are exciting us at Alliance Seed these days. Clink on the link below to listen to Chris’ interview with Shaun Haney.

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.

Is That a Drone I See?
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.
