On Monday, the Senate Standing Committee on Agriculture and Forestry toured CDC's labs with Dr. @CurtisPozniak, seeing how research moves straight from the lab into the varieties Western Canadian farmers grow. Discovery to impact, in one continuous system. #FoodSecurity #saskag

From the field to the combine, CDC Endure has been one we’ve enjoyed watching throughout the season. Now that it’s coming off, Ken shares a look at how the crop finished and what we saw in the field this year. Another oat harvest in the books with CDC Endure from @allianceseed.

Dr. @CurtisPozniak talked durum wheat breeding this week with Italian agriculture retailers touring with @CortevaCA . A last-minute schedule change didn't slow the conversation down. #cdnag #plantbreeding #agresearch #saskag

A distinctive look in the field with beautiful black beards. Backed with the genetics Canadian durum growers want. If you see black awns, you might be looking at CDC Vantta! As the crops move toward harvest, CDC Vantta sure is easy to spot 👀🖤 Learn more: secan.com/varieties/cdc-vant… #SeCan #CanadasSeedPartner #Durum

Adding flax to crop rotations helps break disease and pest cycles. Once established, flax is resilient and can perform well. Listen to Ken Jackle, Field Research Technician for the @CDC_USask's flax breeding program on the @realagriculture podcast: realagriculture.com/2026/08/…

It's always worth looking back to see how far a crop has come. 🌱 CDC Pasqua has continued to make excellent progress throughout the growing season, developing into a strong, uniform stand. We're looking forward to seeing how it finishes as harvest approaches

High yield, big seed, and strong agronomics. CDC Rowland flax delivered 112% of CDC Bethune's yield in registration trials and 105% yield of CDC Glas. This brown seeded variety has excellent lodging resistance, very large seed size, and late maturity. Learn more: secan.com/varieties/cdc-rowl… #SeCan #CanadasSeedPartner
