Mark your calendars Aug. 7th the OSCIA is holding a compaction day at our Rutherford location. The Lambton, Essex and Kent soil and crop associations are organizing a demonstration day to highlight the effects of different equipment on compaction. This should be a very informative event. We are very excited to support this project for our customers and the general farming community. We can provide updates as plans for the event are completed.
The news has been very political lately, so we have updated our sign. We want to show off our patriotic pride, and remind everyone that we are 100% Canadian Owned. All of us should be proud to be Canadian, buy Canadian and work for Canadian companies.
NK Seeds has made the decision to distribute the traited beans in a similar manner to the Silverline IP soybeans. An announcement made Feb 4, 2025 can be found at the link below.

It’s no secret that red clover is one of the best cover crops available. If you are interested in underseeding your wheat this spring you can purchase clover seed from Jackson Seeds. Contact Brad Langstaff or the office if you are interested. Other cover crop seed will be available (such as oats and peas) by order after wheat harvest if you are interested. Contact early for details and pricing, cover crop seed is usually not stocked in the warehouse.
If you plan to visit the 10th annual Chatham Farm Show on Jan 29-30, stop and visit Jackson Seeds in the hallway at Booth H4. We will be hanging around the booth and happy to chat.
