If you are an IP soybean grower for Tofu, or a certified seed grower and receive premiums from Jackson Seed Service for growing the soybeans you may be able to insure your premium. This has been available for a couple years and likely not utilized by very many producers. We encourage you to visit the following two Agricorp website links and speak with an adjuster. We believe you need to sign up and add the pedigreed seed coverage by May 10th. The other deadlines are the same as conventional soybean coverage.

The list of eligible Silverline Tofu varieties is incorrect, S23-T5 is missing from the list. Agricorp has been notified, and it should be available for insurance. All the New Age varieties are listed as eligible for IP growers.

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.
