March 13, 2009

The future success of Canadian agriculture is in its ability to be efficient. "Varietal development and related technology will lead the way", says Dale Alderson, Seed Manager, Paterson Grain.

A number of concurring grain companies understand this concept and have decided to join forces for a common goal of accessing varieties for added value to their business and their farmer customers.

Paterson Grain, Parrish & Heimbecker, Weyburn Inland Terminal, North West Terminal, Prairie West Terminal and Great Sandhills Terminal have established a joint venture company in the seed business. The new seed business unit will be called Alliance Seed Corporation. This newly formed company will work with local seed growers to fulfill their objective of providing top performing varieties to Western Canadian farmers.

Dale Alderson, Paterson Grain, will oversee Alliance Seed Corporation. In his new position he will assume responsibility to ensure access to genetics and consistent corporate sales growth.
