Topcon Agriculture Expands Precision Ag Solved into Western Canada

Topcon Agriculture announces Precision Ag Solved (PAS) is expanding its territory into Western Canada as a primary distributor of Topcon’s precision agriculture portfolio. With its continued growth, PAS’s commercial operations will now include the Western Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. This follows the recent expansion of PAS in the western U.S. as a primary distributor supporting other Topcon precision agriculture resellers in the territory by maintaining ready-to-ship inventories, service parts, and offering partner technical training and support. The U.S. territory currently includes Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. 

“The Precision Ag Solved team has a deep history of working alongside farmers and machinery dealers to assist with integrating and optimizing Topcon precision agriculture technologies,” said Jesse Chisholm, vice president of Topcon Agriculture, North America. “The PAS distribution expansion gives farmers better access to Topcon technologies in their local communities, enabling increased productivity, reduced inputs, and stronger profitability. We are excited to support their expanding presence in the market.”

“Our expansion into Canada is about strengthening the support network for Topcon distributors and the farmers they serve,” said Michael Bourke, owner and president of PAS. “By extending our footprint, we are able to provide more responsive service, deeper technical expertise, and hands-on precision ag support tailored to Canadian operations.”

Video: Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild



In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Max Rothschild, Distinguished Professor at Iowa State University, explains how genetics and genomics have transformed swine production. He explores genomic selection, key gene discoveries, and the role of gene editing in improving disease resistance and productivity. Practical insights on litter size, meat quality, and industry adoption are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Genetic improvement in swine production accelerated significantly once molecular tools enabled identification of DNA level variation influencing growth, reproduction, and meat quality across commercial populations."

Meet the guest: Dr. Max Rothschild / max-f-rothschild-b3800312 earned his PhD in Animal Breeding from Cornell University and has spent over four decades at Iowa State University advancing swine genetics and genomics. His research focuses on genetic improvement, disease resistance, and molecular tools for swine production. A leader in pig genome research, his work has shaped modern breeding strategies.
