Western Canadian Seed and Crop Inputs

Overview

Crop Inputs – A Reenergized Seed Focus

BrettYoung has been active in Western Canadian crop input markets since 1979. Like everything BrettYoung, it began with forage seeds – alfalfa and grasses. In the early 2000s, BrettYoung entered the canola seed market and initiated a research and development program that resulted in the launch of an innovative ag-biological growth promoter – BioBoost. The most recent additions are soybean and corn seed.

A renewed commitment and approach to the canola market was evident in 2010, with the launch of the top tier Genuity Roundup Ready variety, 6040 RR, and the launch of the top yielding Clearfield variety 5525 CL. This was followed in 2011 with the launch of 6060RR – a top Genuity Roundup Ready variety that will out perform any competitor variety.

We are bringing the BCT approach to our soybean and corn portfolios. In Spring 2011, we established an evaluation and demonstration site for our new Genuity® Roundup Ready® 2 Yield soybeans – Pekko R2 and Sampsa R2 – to give growers and retailers an opportunity to experience these varieties. Alongside the soybeans, we also established an evaluation site for potential new corn varieties, showcased a new silage variety, and tested 3 new dual-purpose varieties.

Our commitment to offering field-proven varieties in all our seed crops continues to grow as we live and put into action the statement: it all comes down to performance.
