Public plant breeding matters.

CSGA shares @SeCan's concern about the announced @AAFC_Canada research station closures. Protecting this infrastructure is essential to Canadian seed innovation, certified seed and long-term agricultural competitiveness.

Thank you to SeCan and Jeff Reid for raising this issue on Parliament Hill.

La sélection végétale publique compte.

L’ACPS partage les préoccupations de SeCan concernant l’annonce de la fermeture de stations de recherche d’AAC. Protéger cette infrastructure est essentiel pour l’innovation semencière au Canada, les semences certifiées et la compétitivité agricole à long terme.

With AAC Wheatland VB field performance is the priority. Good views are a bonus!

Can you guess which corner of the Prairies this field calls home? 👇️

Winter wheat genetics have come a long way—delivering stronger agronomics, improved disease resistance, and more value for Canadian farmers.

Growers like Jake Ayre of @southern_seed0 understand that every new variety represents years of investment in plant breeding, delivering tools farmers rely on to manage risk and make the most of every acre.

[Seed World Canada @SeedWorldCAN]

34 to 1. That's the return @southern_seed0 Jake Ayre puts on public plant breeding.

In his opinion, no other investments comes close.
Winter wheat, once wrecked devastated by fusarium, now out-yields the old checks and resists the offers disease resistance. Stop investing though, and that progress stops halts.

2 of the best early emergers out there, may 18th planted Roenick XF and Haley XF off to to a good start at home south of Thamesville. 😎🌱

[SeCan @SeCan]

@AAFC_Canada research stations are critical to Canadian plant breeding and innovation.

This week on Parliament Hill, SeCan general manager Jeff Reid joined @JohnBarlowMP, Conservative MPs, and industry leaders to speak against the announced closures and call on government to work with industry to protect the research capacity that supports Canada’s agri-food sector.

Closing these stations would directly impact plant breeding progress, seed innovation, and the long-term competitiveness of Canadian agriculture.

Planting season can be exciting, rewarding… and stressful.

Long days, changing weather, and the pressure to keep everything moving can take a toll.

A quick check-in with yourself and the people around you can go a long way.

Wishing everyone a safe and successful #Plant26

[Seed World Canada @SeedWorldCAN]

As Canada talks about sovereignty, cuts to public plant breeding continue.

Cribit Seeds co-owner Quentin Martin says the consequences are clear: fewer locally adapted varieties and weaker food security.

AAC Westking - The Next WHEAT KING🌾

This is what growers across the prairies have to say about this new CWRS variety🙌

[Lauren Wensley🌾 @SeCanLauren]

I asked some seed growers what variety they’re most excited for in 2026. One name kept coming up: AAC WestKing 🌾

The excitement around this one has been unreal! Excited to see how it performs across the prairies this year. #Plant26 #AACWestking #ChooseCertifiedSeed #WestCdnAg

[SeCan @SeCan]

The future of agriculture starts with curiosity! 🧠💡

Janine, SeCan's Stewardship Coordinator, recently spent time in classrooms teaching students about Canadian farming and where food comes from.

Thank you @4AgForLife and @AITCCanada, it's encouraging to see so much enthusiasm from the next generation!

[SeCan @SeCan]

Growers know one season never tells the whole story.

That’s why SeCan varieties are tested in real farm conditions — different soils, weather, management practices, and seasons. All backed by independent trial data.

Because consistency matters more than a headline number.

Managed to stop home just in time to catch my brother seeding some CDC Wiseton durum on the home quarter 🌾

My dog nephew Jomax even stepped up rocking his CDC Wiseton jersey 🐾 #Plant26 #CDCWiseton #SeedDogsOfTwitter

Two small-town Wiseton, SK girls seeding some CDC Wiseton durum 🌾💛

Thx for bidding on SeCan’s #AIM25 Field of STARS auction item & choosing CDC Wiseton. Nothing better than seeing a variety named after ur hometown getting seeded by great people while supporting STARS #plant26

[SeCan @SeCan]

85% of Canada’s durum is grown in Saskatchewan.

Right crop. Right conditions.

Canada doesn't just grow durum – we set the standard!

For anyone interested, I started Instagram & Facebook pages where you can follow along my passion for seed, agriculture & of course farm dogs- and I’ve got a little giveaway contest going on for the month of May too- go check it out on those platforms! #SaskieSeedGirl #plant26

[SeCan @SeCan]

The best feedback comes from those who grow it.

Across the Prairies, growers are talking about AAC Stoughton VB and AAC Westking — two high-performing CWRS varieties!

Which varieties are you planting this spring?

[Seed World Canada @SeedWorldCAN]

Changing Canada's breeding system is controversial.

Some, like Greg Stamp of @Stampseeds, argue it's the key to unlocking investment in Canadian plant breeding.

Others argue it could put farmers at a disadvantage.

Watch Episode 8 of On the Brink and let us know — how should Canada solve its breeding investment problem?
