Pollinating is in full swing @HORIZON_SEEDS nursery

[Alex Whittal @WhittalAlex]

@danielle_berard @HORIZON_SEEDS That's right we are around that sub 70 mark. Exciting stuff.

[Alex Whittal @WhittalAlex]

Pollinating is starting up in the @HORIZON_SEEDS research nursery. These are early flowering inbreds being selected for in the pipeline.

#plant2020 is a wrap for the @HORIZON_SEEDS yield test research plots in Ontario. Looking forward to data coming in.

“Ontario farmers will now be able to find out, in a matter of days, if a weed in their field is herbicide resistant thanks to a new service offered by @harvestgenomics, a new agriculture biotech company based out of Guelph.” https://t.co/R2VujK8nfg

Another plot in. @HORIZON_SEEDS corn research team kicking up dust planting another small plot research plot. This is where we test and select multiple hybrids before advancing to the commercial level.
