Quality can't be left to chance

Our process is built around one simple goal — helping farms succeed today while helping advance agriculture for tomorrow. We are involved in every step, because quality cannot be left to chance. As farmers ourselves, we understand that the pedigreed seed we produce represents a season of hope, hard work, and risk — and we take that responsibility seriously.

Six steps behind every seed lot

From variety selection to the moment your truck crosses the scale — this is how a Galloway seed lot is made.

Careful variety selection & seed multiplication

Backed by careful research, planning, and real farming experience, we select varieties with the highest potential to perform in Alberta and Western Canadian conditions — then multiply and test them under real farm conditions to ensure dependable quality and performance.

Certified-ready fields

Our fields must meet strict standards and are inspected by third-party crop inspectors as part of the pedigreed seed process. These inspections help ensure varietal purity and confirm that every field meets production requirements.

Careful harvest, equipment cleaning & storage

Every stage of harvest and storage is handled to preserve seed quality, germination, and performance. Combines, trucks, grain carts, bins, augers, and handling equipment are thoroughly cleaned between every variety to maintain the highest degree of purity and prevent contamination.

Controlled seed cleaning

Our dedicated Registered Seed Cleaning Plant (Canadian Seed Institute), built in 2018, gives us direct control over every stage of cleaning. Seed passes through multiple machines and stages of impurity removal for a clean, high-purity final product farmers can trust.

Seed grading & laboratory testing

Every seed lot is graded and tested to meet certified seed standards. Our in-house certified seed graders, Jim and Erin, oversee grading while samples go to accredited laboratories for germination, vigour, and disease testing.

Seed treatment & final handling

Our certified in-house treatment and pulse inoculant specialists apply products accurately and consistently, with direct control over quality and purity right through final handling and loading. Seed can be treated on demand — straight from the bin onto your truck.

Put our plant and people to work for your farm

The same equipment, standards, and expertise behind our pedigreed seed are available to every farm — for your own seed too.

Important for your farm

Understanding the condition and quality of your seed is an important part of consistent crop performance — it lets you make informed management decisions and mitigation strategies when needed. We'd be happy to have your seed cleaned, graded, and tested.

Seed Treatment & Pulse Inoculant Application

Accurate, consistent application

We offer customized seed treatment and pulse inoculant application tailored to your crop and farm needs. Seed can be treated directly from the bin onto the truck, improving efficiency while ensuring accurate and consistent application.

Important for crop success

Proper seed treatment and pulse inoculation can be an important part of strong crop establishment. Setting up, calibrating, and cleaning equipment between treatments is time-consuming in an already busy season — let our certified treatment specialists, Andrew, Dan, and Ryan, take care of it so you can stay focused on the farm.
