Seed cleaning plants improve western Canada seed quality
Seventy percent of seed grain sown in Western Canada fell to No 3 commercial seed or rejected, underscoring the need for efficient farm seed cleaning. Stationary plants achieved 66 percent No 2 seed or better, far above the 30 percent average among all plants. Alberta leads with cooperative stationary plants, about 23 built. Saskatchewan and Manitoba follow with new programs. Aimed at 20 mile radii, these plants handle large volumes and promise major benefits for farmers lacking on‑farm equipment.
