SeCan will celebrate its 40th anniversary as part of the Canadian seed industry next week at the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association annual meeting in Clear Lake, Man.
SeCan was formed in 1976 and has been able to bring new varieties with improved features into commercial production more quickly. This is a benefit to everyone in the business, including farmers, millers and other processors, consumers and exporters.
SeCan continues to be a major supporter of plant breeding in Canada. To date, the organization has returned more than $90 million in royalties and research funding.
The 40th anniversary gala will take place July 6. Visit CSGA’s website for more info about the three-day CSGA event: http://seedgrowers.ca/csgas-annual-general-meeting/
