Maida Great in early zones

Maida is a wheat for cold climates, with a high yield potential in zones 2 and 3. It has excellent plant health and good straw production and is high in protein.

TouranHigh falling number

An excellent bread wheat with a high test weight, protein content and falling number. Among the best varieties in terms of quality and yield. Higher-than-average resistance to fusarium.

HeliosExtra-early bread wheat

Among the earliest-maturing varieties in provincial trials, this wheat’s high yield is exceptional. It produces very high-quality flour with a high protein content and falling number. Very good resistance to fusarium. Early maturity wards off many infestations.

Data based on the CRCQ 2017-2018-2019 evaluation trials published in the 2019 RGCQ guide

RhéaVery strong stalks

Shorter-than-average straw height and very strong stalks. Its high specific weight and yield make it a sure winner. Thrives under intensive management.

CyaneVery large grains

Very high yield potential; among the RGCQ’s best. Great for use on the farm. Easily harvested and adapts to most soils.

Orzo Looks great

Good yield potential and very large grains that make for easier use on the farm. Excellent standability and impressively tall st raw.

AAC GoldmanMalting barley

Two-row barley for feed or malting. Produces large, consistent grains that are ideal for a quality malt. Very high fusarium tolerance and excellent yield in cool climates.

Thauvex Spring triticale

This triticale has very high yield potential and tall straw with excellent standability. Thauvex is very resistant to ergot and is highly resistant to leaf diseases.

KWS Daniello Vigorous and robust

This hybrid fall rye has a higher yield potential than conventional rye. KWS Daniello is very resistant to ergot. It survives very well in the winter and is a quick starter in the spring. Short plants with excellent standability.

KWS Propower Specifically for silage

KWS Propower is a hybrid winter rye specifically for silage. It allows an early, high quality harvest and seeding of a second crop. Makes it easy to increase forage acreage on the farm and is resistant to drought.

GauthierConventional

This conventional winter rye developed in Québec can be put to many uses, whether as a cover crop, a forage or a grain. It is resistant to snow mould and survives well in winter.

EnersileGold acts to reduce silage pH as soon as it is applied. Its fast action stabilizes forage to conserve dry matter and protein. EnersileGold reduces clostridium, and therefore butyric acid, in silage.

EnersileDuo improves the aerobic stability of corn silage at feedout and is very efficient at preventing silage heating. It acts fast to reduce pH, and its fermentation speed conserves silage dry matter. EnersileDuo provides increased silage stability for optimal production.
