Regina. One of the largest movements of registered seed grain in Saskatchewan’s history is developing this spring. Farmers group orders to gain freight help from the Saskatchewan Agriculture Department, which will pay half the regular freight within the province to the final destination. Plans for carload groupings should be made now, as the policy runs until June 1. Farmers may deliver up to 22 bushels over quota if buying half that amount in registered seed wheat oats or barley. The seed drive follows a poor 1953 seed grain survey and aims to utilize 45 million bushels of top seed grain to boost quality and yield.
