Prograin to offer new soybean genetics in Western Canada from 2027 season

Prograin has announced plans to expand its soybean portfolio in Western Canada starting from the 2027 growing season. The company will take over select soybean varieties that were previously sold under the Brevant® seeds brand. This change will help ensure that farmers continue to access reliable and high-performing soybean genetics.

This move is an important step for Prograin as it strengthens its presence in Western Canada. The company aims to support farmers and maintain strong partnerships with existing retailers. By adding these varieties to its portfolio, Prograin plans to improve its product range and provide consistent quality to growers.

As part of the expansion, Prograin will introduce three new Enlist E3 varieties for the 2027 season. These include B0024EE, B0045EE, and B0065EE. These soybean varieties are known for their strong field performance and reliability. Farmers in Western Canada have used them for years and trust their consistent results.

Prograin has confirmed that it will continue delivering the same high-quality genetics while adding its own expertise and support services. The company is working closely with production partners to ensure a smooth transition. This will help avoid any supply disruptions for farmers in the coming seasons.

“We recognize the confidence growers have placed in these varieties and the value they have consistently delivered across Western Canada,” said Alexandre Beaudoin, VP Sales and Marketing at Prograin. “Our priority is to ensure a smooth transition and continued access to these proven genetics while leveraging Prograin’s strong support network and customer-first approach to help growers succeed.”

Video: Winter Canola Trial in Mississippi | Can It Work for Double Cropping? | Pioneer Agronomy

Can winter canola open new opportunities for growers in the Mid-South? In this agronomy update from Noxubee County, Mississippi, Pioneer agronomist Gus Eifling shares an early look at a first-year winter canola trial and what farmers are learning from the field.

Planted in late October on 30-inch rows, the crop is now entering the bloom stage and progressing quickly. In this video, we walk through current field conditions, fertility management, and how timing could make this crop a valuable option for double-cropping soybeans or cotton.

If harvest timing lines up with early May, growers may be able to transition directly into another crop during ideal planting windows. Ongoing field trials will help determine whether canola could become a viable rotational option for the region.

Watch for:

How winter canola is performing in its first season in this Mississippi field

Why growers chose 30-inch rows for this trial

What the crop looks like as it moves from bolting into bloom

Fertility strategy, including nitrogen and sulfur applications

How canola harvest timing could enable double-cropping with soybeans or cotton

Upcoming trials comparing soybeans after canola vs. traditional planting

As more growers look for ways to maximize acres and diversify rotations, experiments like this help determine what new crops might fit into existing systems.
