Levy increase proposed by Saskatchewan canary seed commission

The Canary Seed Development Commission of Saskatchewan (CSDC) will be requesting an increase in the check-off levy paid by producers.

A resolution will be introduced at the CSDC annual meeting next month asking canary seed farmers to approve a 75 cent per tonne increase in the levy.

It would go from the current $1.75 a tonne up to $2.50 a tonne starting Aug. 1, 2023.

Assuming an average yield of 1,300 pound per acre, the levy cost would work out to $1.47 per acre. That would be similar to the per acre levy for barley and flax, but much less than the per acre cost for pulse crops and mustard.
