Millborn seeds buys union forage to boost North American presence

By Farms.com

Millborn Seeds, a leader in providing diverse seed solutions, has announced its acquisition of Union Forage, Calgary's innovative forage seed company. This strategic move aims to bolster Millborn's mission of enriching lands and lives in North America by integrating over 1,200 seed species into their offerings. Union Forage, known for its dealer-focused business model since 2014, complements Millborn's brand, Renovo Seed, enabling an expanded reach into the Canadian market. 

Geoff Barker of Union Forage highlighted the shared vision of impacting land and its caretakers positively. Matt Fenske, CEO of Millborn, expressed excitement about integrating Union Forage's network and offerings to enhance their service to North American farmers. Union Forage, birthed from the necessity to improve grazing strategies in western Canada, aligns with Millborn's quality and customer-focused approach. 

The acquisition, finalized on March 6, 2024, means Canadian customers will gain access to a broader portfolio, including Renovo's pre-built seed mixes and Union Forage's existing lineup. This collaboration is set to deliver simplified seed solutions for forage, cover crops, conservation, and food plots, reflecting both brands' commitment to innovation and quality.

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
