PICKSEED operates Canada’s largest private industry forage research program and has developed varieties of alfalfa, red clover, timothy, orchardgrass, bromegrass, birdsfoot trefoil and meadow foxtail.

We have the resources, management skills and experience to handle all of your production needs. If you are looking to diversify your farming operation, consider forage seed production as part of your crop rotation. Seed production contracts are available for these and other species:

Double-cut red clover: Short-lived perennial, with excellent moisture tolerance, and adaptability.

Alsike clover: Short-lived perennial with adaptability and a moderate tolerance to alkalinity and flooding.

Birdsfoot trefoil: Long-lived perennial legume, prefers somewhat poorly drained areas.

Timothy: Cool season bunch grass, shallow rooted with good flooding tolerance.
