PFCA suspending forage corn hybrid variety testing in 2025.

A note from the PFCA chairperson Ted Osborn:

We recognize that the corn silage user would be able to make a better decision on which hybrid seed corn varieties best fit his land by having the results of all the varieties, which were independently tested, available from testing program carried out in the same location. In recent years ICMS has expanded to carry out a testing program in B.C. and we consider it appropriate to provide this company with every opportunity for success.  Accordingly, we will not be undertaking a hybrid corn seed testing program in 2025.

The PFCA will continue to operate its web site, Farmwest.com and undertake programs that further enhance the farm sector to thrive.
