The attached list provides information on companies involved with the forage seed industry in Western Canada. Not included are seed cleaning plants, mostly farmer owned, which only clean seed on a custom basis.
...
For easy reference, Section 1 provides a quick listing of company names, locations (by province) and phone numbers. Local Municipal seed cleaning plants, which have cleaned forage seed in the past, are listed at the bottom of Section 1. Section 2 includes a legend under each listing to provide a general description as to what services the companies are involved with. Services include: custom cleaning and bagging, processing, broker, buyers, production contracts, retailers and accredited seed testing labs.
Growers are advised to deal with a reputable company and understand the specifics of offered prices and services, whether they are selling seed, forward pricing or growing seed under production contracts. Prices provided by companies will vary but may be due to differences in how prices their prices are structured. A price quoted at one company could be higher than another, but the higher priced quote may include the producer paying for cleaning and bagging. Dockage has also been known to vary among companies. When signing forage seed production contracts, understand the pricing structure, length of the contract and quality requirements. Make sure that prices are compared on an even basis when contacting companies about selling and/or establishing contracts.
