Hello Western SeCan Members,  

SeCan is pleased to offer you a great group of new products for spring 2025. 

AAC Fedak is a high yielding white hulled milling oat with short strong straw, medium maturity and crown rust resistance. AAC Fedak performed especially well in the Black Soil Zones in registration trials. 

AAC Frontier is an exciting new durum - the first CWAD developed and selected for ergot resistance!! Added to the ergot resistance is a best-in-class disease package including an intermediate resistance to FHB (equal to AAC Schrader), excellent grain yield potential, high protein similar to AAC Schrader and shorter stronger straw than AAC Schrader.  

CDC Huskie is a very high yielding green field pea with a “good” rating for seed coat bleaching and seed coat breakage. CDC Huskie also has a medium seed size, medium maturity and medium vine length combined with good lodging tolerance and is moderately resistant rating to Fusarium wilt.  The CDC Huskie release is unique in that it’s only for areas outside of Saskatchewan. In Saskatchewan the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers retains the marketing rights to CDC Huskie so seed should be sourced through them or local seed growers. 

HY2152 is a very high yielding CPSR with short strong straw and an excellent disease resistance package. HY2152 should be a good fit for all CPSR growing regions of Western Canada. 

Application deadline for all four is January 20, 2025

·   Click on the Seed Application button 

·   In the left-hand boxes:

Crop Kind: XXX

  • Click “Next Item”

  • If you want to apply for both Breeder and Foundation you need to add the next pedigree the same as above and remember to click “Next Item” or it won’t add what you just entered.

  • At least one option needs to be selected in the sales history section but you can do more if you wish.

  • Finally, put your name in the box and hit Submit. 😊 

You should receive an email confirmation that the application has been submitted and I’ll try to let you know I got it too. Please remember to check your junk folder as the confirmation may go there.

Cheers,
