SeedMaster is moving forward with a multimillion-dollar expansion in Saskatchewan.

The equipment manufacturer is investing $10 million to increase its presence in the Emerald Park community, the company announced on May 22.

“The company has acquired space which includes land and a building directly beside the current SeedMaster headquarters in Emerald Park, a community just outside Regina,” a press release says. “SeedMaster will build another 6,000 sq. ft. onto the existing 6,000 sq. ft. building to increase production capacity.”

The company expects construction to begin this summer and has set a goal of operating on the site by the end of 2024.

The new expansion will include new equipment and create jobs in the community.

“The new facility will house a new CNC steel plate cutting machine and a state-of-the-art automated painting system,” the company said. “The expansion is expected to make room for 20-25 employees once the space is completed.”

SeedMaster also expanded production last year.

In March 2023, it received a $602,500 loan from the PrairiesCan Business Scale-Up Program to expand production and packaging capacities.

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
