Sunflower Seed Co-op Announces Final 1990 Payment
Altona Manitoba April 28 1991 the Co op Vegetable Oils Limited announces final payment on the 1990 sunflower seed crop amounting to about one third of the interim payment bringing cash price for top grade seed to just over 4.66 per hundred pounds with a total final payment exceeding 1400 dollars. The company expects another dividend on July 31 ending its fiscal year and may push total top grade seed value above 5.00 per hundred pounds. General Manager D K Friesen notes good seasonal plant operations despite limited seed and low quality. He says higher edible oil prices could yield strong profits next year with 40 000 to 50 000 acres planted in southern Manitoba up from 1980. Canada imports large vegetable oil quantities, suggesting a ready market for extra sunflower seed oil.

Preparations for Flax Seed Quality in 1951
Favorable flax prices may prompt higher plantings. Farmers should use zone recommended varieties only and test seed germination, with 65 percent or higher as the standard. Frost-damaged Saskatchewan and Alberta seed lowers viability, so tests are crucial. Clean seed, weed removal, fungicide treatment, and well prepared land are advised. Do not plant flax on same land consecutively due to disease over-wintering.
