ABOUT US

Canamaize Seed is a pioneer in the annual corn grazing industry, bringing innovative new products and services to producers. Canamaize Seed Inc. is a growing seed company producing and marketing the world’s earliest maturing corn varieties. Our products have been developed through our own breeding program exclusively for the western Canadian and US Great Plains markets. We are an independent Canadian owned and operated business with research and commercial facilities in Minto and Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Canadian scientists isolated and selected corn “earliness genes” to produce a short stature corn variety that matures with as few as 1900 Corn Heat Units. The Canamaize Seed breeding program built on the “earliness” trait and the shorter stature of these first varieties. Now, growers have access to new products with enhanced agronomic performance, improved plant characteristics and variety consistency. This allows farmers outside the traditional corn growing regions of Canada and the US to add corn to their rotations.

Since 1999, Canamaize has been bringing conventional corn varieties to the marketplace. Canamaize Seed varieties are the earliest maturing corn varieties in the world. High protein levels in mature ears, whole plant palatability and high dry matter yields make it an excellent choice for fall and winter grazing. Reduced height eases harvesting. Short stature and dense cover also makes Canamaize excellent wild bird habitat.

In 2005, Canamaize Seed registered their first herbicide tolerant variety CM 533 containing the Roundup Ready® trait, providing additional options for our growers.

We sell directly to farmers, providing strong technical support to build lasting customer relationships. We maintain high standards of seed quality. Sales are backed by a dedicated breeding and development staff. Through our own breeding program we ensure the availability of unique grazing products and a continuous pipeline of new, higher performing products.
