There are quite a few differences between the Alberta Seed Guide and Saskatchewan Seed Guide on Durum variety results. Results can be affected by so many variables! So we have decided to show the comparison chart for both guides looking at the key attributes including: grain yield, height, straw strength, disease etc.
Newly released!!! AAC Schrader is the first and only durum with an ‘I’ (Intermediate Resistance Rating) for Fusarium Head Blight, displaying the highest resistance to FHB in CWAD. It is very high yielding with good standability!
AAC Schrader is a very unique variety, bearing a strong “I” or Intermediate rating for Fusarium Head Blight, and is the only variety of its kind commercially available globally. As a result the variety owner, FP Genetics, has created a Stewardship Agreement to protect the variety. The agreement allows farmers to use farm saved seed from this variety but restricts use for other purposes. See more info below:
With it's strong straw, AAC Stronghold will be an excellent fit for southern Alberta, particularly under irrigation. Solid stem sawfly resistance makes it a smart choice on dryland.

We are pleased to provide our customers with custom forage and cover crop blends as well as Alfalfa seed and blends.
Peas are often added to oats or barley forage crops in order to increase the protein content and palatability of the forage.
We offer the following Alfalfa and Hay blends.
We are able to order specialty blends or custom blends to meet your specific needs.
Cover crops are planted to prevent soil erosion, improve soil health, reduce weed populations, provide habitat for insects and wildlife, increase diversity of plant life, and to help manage water availability on your farm. Economically, preventing top soil erosion and improving soil health will provide long term yield benefits for your crops. Here are some things to think about when picking a cover crop:
