Prograin Expands To Western Canada

 
The largest private added-value soybean company in the country has made the move to western Canada.
 
Prograin, a family owned company, has been in the market for 35 years in Quebec.
 
Alexandre Beaudoin is the sales and marketing manager for seed in Canada.
 
He explained the advantage of being solely focused on soybeans.
 
"A lot of companies have corn, soybeans, and other products. Being strictly soybeans, we can concentrate and be more efficient and be more competitive in the soybean market."

Residue Management

Video: Residue Management

Residue Management conservation practice manages the amount, orientation, and distribution of crop and other plant residue on the soil surface year-round while limiting soil-disturbing activities used to grow and harvest crops in systems where the field surface is tilled prior to planting. This video explores how Ryan McKenzie implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Samson, Alabama.

Practice benefits:

• Increases organic matter

• Improves air quality

• Decreases energy costs

• Reduces erosion

• Improves soil health

The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
