Summer always brings several challenges to farmers in western Canada: drought, hail, extreme heat, and, sometimes, wildfire smoke. Because we have to deal more often with wildfire smoke, let's see how it affects the development of the corn crops. 

When your corn silage has been harvested for 90 days, it is a good time to re-evaluate some of the key characteristics of that silage now that it has had time to ferment. At this point in time, a silage analysis will give a better representation of the way the silage will feed for the remainder of the year.

At the Lévis Feed Mill, waste disposal costs, including for wood, metal, and cardboard, were much higher than those of similar plants in the Sollio Agriculture network. So, the workers there decided to roll up their sleeves to reduce the environmental footprint of their operations. They began to search their containers for a way to recover the waste, with help from partner companies.

Elite Seeds brings together researchers and advisors who work hand in hand to promote excellence. For the research farm team in Saint-Hyacinthe and the advisors, the goal is the same every year: to provide grain farmers with the most high-performance and consistent seeds.

To optimize grain marketing, Sollio Agriculture advisors focus primarily on relationships of trust with farmers and buyers.

Straddling the responsibilities of both buyer and seller, grain merchant Christiane Boulet is very familiar with her role: offering farmers the best terms of sale.
