Company Overview
Pickseed Canada Inc. was founded in 1947 by Otto and Marie Pick as a seed company selling forage mixtures directly to Ontario farmers. Tom and his brother Martin, who is vice-president, have been running the company since 1959.
The company sells forage and seeds around the world and operates a focused corn breeding program developing early hybrids for the short Canadian growing season.
Operations in Tangent, Oregon, develop turf grass varieties in the Willemette Valley, south of Portland, where conditions are ideal. The company has 40, 000 acres under contract with growers who produce turf seed.
In 1997 Pickseed Canada Inc. was selected as one of the Top 50 Best Managed Privately Owned Companies in Canada. The award is sponsored by Arthur Anderson, Canadian Airlines, CIBC, The Financial Post and Le Groupe Mallette Maheu.
Pickseed Canada Inc. is also an active member of the Canadian Trade Association, the American Seed Trade Association, Canadian Seed Growers' Association, Western Seedmen's Association, and the International Seed Trade Federation (F. I. S.).
Pickseed Canada Inc. is affiliated with Pickseed West Inc. and Roberts Seed Company in Tangent, Oregon.
Pickseed's Lindsay laboratory was accredited by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada as an official lab entitled to conduct seed purity and germination testing of all the crops sold and multiplied by the company. We have four establishments across Canada.
