2012 Annual General Meeting
Calgary, Alberta
July 12 & 13, 2012
The meeting opened at 8:00 a.m. Thursday, July 12 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino, Calgary,
Alberta. Gerald Girodat, president of CSGA welcomed everyone to the meeting.
President’s Report – Gerald Girodat
Firstly, I would like to thank the staff of CSGA for the past two years of my term as president. I
want to ensure the membership that we have good conscientious people working on our behalf.
Change will be coming as we have definite dates for retirement in the range of one to three years
for several staff members and it will be a challenge for the executive and Board to find equally
qualified replacements.
Again, your Board had a full agenda for our Board meeting this week with reports and
recommendations coming from our various committees. You will be hearing from the different
committee chairs as our meeting continues.
With support from the Board, staff continues to find ways to modernize and streamline operations.
I wish to thank Doug Miller for his work in improving the on-line application process. Electronic
data transfer will continue to be a priority of staff and the board. Several different processes are
already underway and I am sure that there is more to come.
Of course, the shoe has finally fallen with regard to CFIA’s role in field inspection and it is now the
big talk in the seed industry. CSGA is looking at three different alternative service delivery
models and there have been plenty of discussions around these models within our Board, Branch
Boards, and various other groups such as the Seed Sector Value Chain Round Table. I believe it
is important that we as seed growers, through our Associations, develop a clear and consistent
message as to the model we would like to see and that we can work with the CFIA to deliver and
maintain that model.
In my term as president, we have talked about change within our industry and whether change
within our association is needed to meet the needs of the future. These talks have taken place at
the CSGA Board table, at Branch Board meetings, at facilitated sessions with the CSGA and
Branch executives, and at committee meetings of our White Paper Committee. Five main goals
were developed as a result of these discussions and action has started on accomplishing some of
these goals. For example, under the goal of laying claim to the Certification System testing, new
technology has started with the use of the Smart pen and paper in the field during seed crop
inspection. A pilot project is underway in southern Alberta this summer.
The goal of reviewing and assessing the governance structure of the CSGA Board is on- going
and at the last facilitated session in March, we developed several options to the structure and
size of the Board. These options will continue to be discussed at the CSGA Board, Branches and
with the membership. But if any changes are to be made that require by-law changes, decisions
should be made soon so these changes could be made prior to 2014. This is when the new NonFor-Profit Corporation Act takes effect.
We continue to see a decline in membership in our association however, inspected acres remain
fairly constant. This is a trend that is likely to continue as fewer growers take on more acres.
What affect changes in inspection services will have on growers remains to be seen. However, it
may be the tipping point for some.
This will be my last report to you as president of this Association. I will be leaving at a time when
many new issues and challenges face this Board. It is my opinion that we have many good
people, both on staff and within our boards and that these challenges will be met.

Auditors’ Report to the Members
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Association as at April 30, 2012 and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. As
required by the Canada Corporations Act, we report that, in our opinion,
these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the
preceding year.
À notre avis, les états financiers donnent, à tous les égards importants, une
image fidèle de la situation financière de l’Association au 30 Avril 2012
ainsi que de ses résultats d’exploitation et de ses flux de trésorerie pour
l’exercice clos à cette date, conformément aux principes compatables
généralement reconnus du Canada. Comme le stipule la Loi sur les
corporations canadiennes, nous déclarons que à notre avis, ces principes ont
été appliqués de la même manière qu’au cours de l’exercice précédent.

Executive Director’s 2010-2011 Report
Disposition of 2010 Resolutions
Resolution #6:
That after current commitment in Research and Development (R&D)
are paid out no more R & D will be approved.
A sub-Committee of the CSGA R&D Committee had been established in late 2009
to review priorities and R&D program structures. This sub-Committee reported to
the November 2010 CSGA Board of Directors’ meeting. Only two on-going
research projects were approved for 2011-12. No R&D program and budgetary
decisions were made beyond 2011-12.
31
R & D Committee 2011-12 Activity
 No new projects have been approved since July 2010
 Year 2 of two projects were completed in 2010-11
 When final reports are received, abstracts are posted to the CSGA web site
 No “research fund” exists within CSGA budget
 Will look at new research projects that relate directly to seed certification
standards on a case by case basis
 Committee membership structure streamlined & downsized
* Chair person
* AAFC rep
* Plant breeder
* Standards & Circ. 6 rep
* Executive Committee rep
* CSGA reps to WGRF & PGDC
R & D Committee 2011-12 Activity
 Received the final report and added abstract to website concerning:
Characterization of Ergot Resistance in Durum Wheat and Development of
Molecular Markers for Aiding Selection of Ergot Resistant Breeding Lines
Dr. James Menzies, AAFC, Winnipeg MB
 The Circular 6 Committee requested that the R&D Committee consider:
That validating the accuracy and confidence of present crop inspection
reporting procedures be a CSGA research priority.
R&D considered the request in conjunction with technical reports from
the OECD seed scheme. R&D developed a two phase
research proposal and recommended to the Board of
Directors through the Executive Committee that
phase one be initiated.

Going Forward
A New Business Environment
ALTERNATIVE SERVICE DELIVERY
Alternative to what?
Official inspection by independent, 3rd party inspectors
trained and certified by the CFIA.
Currently, most crops are officially inspected. Hybrid corn
and hybrid canola have been the exceptions.
Currently:
CFIA has authorized 4 developers of hybrid corn varieties to
inspect their fields producing Certified hybrid corn seed crops.
CFIA has authorized 1 seed lab company to provide seed crop
inspections on Certified hybrid canola fields contracted by
companies developing hybrid canola varieties.
In 2011 & 2012, a pilot project has operated in Ontario for
inspection, by a soybean variety development company, of
soybean seed crops assigned to that company.
Three models exist for ASD:
1. 1st Party (self inspection by the seed producer) e.g. hybrid
corn
2. 2nd Party (inspection by the company assigned the CSGA
crop certificate by the seed grower) e.g. soybean pilot project
in Ontario
3. 3rd Party (independent) e.g. hybrid canola
1st Party Model:
• Inspection is carried out by the seed grower responsible for
the production and management of the seed crop and all
related financial matters.
• Hybrid corn inspections are a current, working example of
this model.
• Requires a documented quality management system
regularly audited, or verified by a recognized 3rd party.
• Requires variety verification seed testing
capability in the year of production.
2nd Party Model:
• Inspection is carried out by the company (the assignee) to
which the seed grower has assigned the CSGA crop certificate.
• In Ontario, a pilot scale model with one company operated in
2011 and 2012 for soybeans seed crops assigned to that
company (the variety developer).
• Requires a documented quality management system regularly
audited, or verified by a recognized
• 3rd party.
3rd Party Model:
• Inspection is carried out by an inspector who is independent
of the seed grower and the assignee.
• Hybrid canola seed crop inspection is a current, working
example of this model.
• Requires a documented quality management system
regularly audited, or verified by a recognized 3rd party.
In all three Models:
• The ASD provider meets CFIA criteria for that
authorized seed crop inspection service model
including audited conflict of interest/code of conduct
requirements.
• The ASD provider adheres to CSGA requirements
for seed crop inspection reporting.
There are Pros and Cons:
• Conflict of Interest is a potential issue, even if only perception,
in any model other than independent 3rd Party models.
• The trend for more and more seed fields to be assigned could
make the 2nd Party model attractive on a lot of acres.
• All models are likely to have additional costs
compared to current crop inspection fee levels.
• Timeliness of inspections and
information transfer should be
enhanced.
There are Pros and Cons:
• The future is likely characterized by less uniform delivery
across the country. Inspection fees will likely vary across
Canada and the type of ASD model available for seed crop
inspection could also vary by crop kind.
• Developing an independent, national, 3rd Party ASD model
before 2014 is likely not possible.
• Consumer confidence and acceptance could drop as we move
away from the independent, 3rd party model
and business risk could increase.
How the Future is Likely to Look:
• Seed growers are likely to have more than one model
working on the inspection of their fields. That means:
 Seed growers will have different inspectors for different
crops, depending on the models operating.
• Seed growers are likely to pay more because fees are likely
to increase and to vary – no longer will
there be one fee across Canada
and across all crops.
• Without a national ASD provider, it will be the seed grower’s
responsibility to identify the ASD provider(s) and arrange
for inspection(s). That means:
 Inspection fees are likely to be paid directly to the ASD
provider rather than submitted to CSGA.
 CSGA administration will become more complex
depending upon the number of ASD providers in
operation.
 Small acreage crops and regions are likely to be hardest
hit in terms of the increase in cost of seed crop inspection.
• As we move away from official seed crop inspections,
customer confidence and acceptance could be impacted.
 A decline in confidence and acceptance could occur as
we move from 3rd party to 2nd party to 1st party.
• Business risk could increase as we move from 3rd party to
2nd party to 1st party models.
• How inspection fees are established will vary. We
may see acreage fees, field fees, visit fees
and/or mileage fees. There will be no
standardization nor harmonization.

2012 Remote Data Collection Pilots
Background
• This summer, CSGA will be hosting two (2) remote data collection pilot projects:
• Smart Pen / Smart Paper Pilot in Lethbridge, Alberta
• iPad Pilot in Southwestern, Ontario
• The purpose of these pilots is to develop and test electronic crop inspection
reporting tools, which may be used by inspection services in the future
Smart Pen / Smart Paper
• Considered to be a “low-high tech” option
• Looks, feels and writes like a normal pen
• Contains a digital camera and an image microprocessor which records pen
strokes
Digital Camera
• Infrared light is used to make the unique “fingerprint” dot matrix pattern visible to
the digital camera
• Camera is able to capture up to 100 images per second
• Camera does not record the actual ink, but rather the unique “fingerprint” dot
matrix behind the ink.
Smart Paper
• Each smart paper sheet is unique
• Up to 70 trillion unique fingerprints
• Unique pattern is assigned at the time of printing and can be done on most paper
stocks/formats
• Pre-populated data (grower, field and variety information) can be applied to each
smart paper sheet at the time of printing
• Can be done locally, as opposed to centrally (District offices vs. CSGA office)
Memory
• Memory is used to store the “carbon copy” of the crop inspection report
• Each smart pen is capable of holding up to 200 one page forms
Getting Crop Inspections off of the Smart Pen
A “carbon copy” of each crop inspection report is stored in the smart
pen until it is transferred to CSGA
This transfer can occur in two ways:
a) With a unique desktop cradle
b) Via Bluetooth to a smartphone and then to the CSGA over a
mobile network.
In either option, the crop inspection report
is stored permanently at the CSGA for
future processing (i.e. being sent as an email
to the seed grower, CFIA and CSGA) and
ultimately appraised by CSGA.
Smart Pen / Smart Paper Pilot
Who is involved?
• Seednet: independent seed growers in Southern Alberta all located within
the Lethbridge CFIA district.
Smart Pen / Smart Paper Pilot
Who is involved?
• Seednet
• Lethbridge CFIA District Office
• Nine (9) inspectors in total;
What is the scope?
• All crop application & crop inspection data will be transferred electronically;
• All Seednet fields will be inspected using the Smart Pen/ Smart Paper;
• Approximately 350 fields (based off of 2011 stats); and
• 14 different crop kinds (i.e. Cereals, Forages, Legumes, Rape).
What are the initial savings?

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des
producteurs de semences
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association
– l’Association canadienne des producteurs de semences, which comprise the statement of financial
position as at April 30, 2012, the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
1
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des producteurs
de semences as at April 30, 2012 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Report on Other Legal Requirements
As required by the Canada Corporations Act, we report that, in our opinion, these principles have
been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

RAPPORT DES AUDITEURS INDÉPENDANTS
Aux membres du Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des
producteurs de semences
Rapport sur les états financiers
Nous avons effectué l’audit des états financiers ci-joints de la Canadian Seed Growers’
Association – l’Association canadienne des producteurs de semences, qui comprennent le bilan
au 30 avril 2012, et les états des résultats, de l’évolution de l’actif net et des flux de trésorerie
pour l’exercice clos à cette date, ainsi que les notes, qui comprennent un résumé des principales
méthodes comptables et d’autres informations explicatives.
Responsabilité de la direction pour les états financiers
La direction est responsable de la préparation et de la présentation fidèle de ces états financiers
conformément aux principes comptables généralement reconnus du Canada, ainsi que du
contrôle interne qu’elle considère comme nécessaire pour permettre la préparation d’états
financiers exempts d’anomalies significatives, que celles-ci résultent de fraudes ou d’erreurs.
Responsabilité des auditeurs
Notre responsabilité consiste à exprimer une opinion sur les états financiers, sur la base de notre
audit. Nous avons effectué notre audit selon les normes d’audit généralement reconnues du
Canada. Ces normes requièrent que nous nous conformions aux règles de déontologie et que
nous planifiions et réalisions l’audit de façon à obtenir l’assurance raisonnable que les états
financiers ne comportent pas d’anomalies significatives.
Un audit implique la mise en œuvre de procédures en vue de recueillir des éléments probants
concernant les montants et les informations fournis dans les états financiers. Le choix des
procédures relève de notre jugement, et notamment de notre évaluation des risques que les états
financiers comportent des anomalies significatives, que celles-ci résultent de fraudes ou
d’erreurs. Dans l’évaluation de ces risques, nous prenons en considération le contrôle interne de
l’entité portant sur la préparation et la présentation fidèle des états financiers afin de concevoir
des procédures d’audit appropriées aux circonstances, et non dans le but d’exprimer une opinion
sur l’efficacité du contrôle interne de l’entité. Un audit comporte également l’appréciation du
caractère approprié des méthodes comptables retenues et du caractère raisonnable des
estimations comptables faites par la direction, de même que l’appréciation de la présentation
d’ensemble des états financiers.
Nous estimons que les éléments probants que nous avons obtenus sont suffisants et appropriés
pour fonder notre opinion d’audit.
1
Opinion
À notre avis, les états financiers donnent, dans tous leurs aspects significatifs, une image fidèle
de la situation financière du Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des
producteurs de semences au 30 avril 2012, ainsi que de ses résultats d’exploitation et de ses flux
de trésorerie pour l’exercice clos à cette date, conformément aux principes comptables
généralement reconnus du Canada.
Rapport sur les autres exigences légales
Comme le stipule la Loi sur les corporations canadiennes, nous déclarons que, à notre avis, ces
principes ont été appliqués de la même manière qu’au cours de l’exercice précédent.

Notes to Financial Statements
The Canadian Seed Growers’ Association is a not-for-profit organization incorporated as a
corporation without share capital under the Canada Corporations Act. The Association provides
seed pedigreeing services of field crops, in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency, to over 4,000 seed growers across Canada.
1. Significant accounting policies:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles and include the following significant accounting policies.
(a) Basis of accounting:
The Association follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions for not-for-profit
organizations.
(b) Revenue recognition:
Revenue from fees and sales of production reports are recognized when the services are
provided or the goods are sold. Contributions received for the purchase of capital assets are
deferred and amortized into revenue at a rate corresponding to the amortization rate of the
capital asset purchased.
(c) Financial instruments:
(i) Investments:
Investments are designated as held for trading and are recorded at fair value. Fair value
is determined at quoted market values. Sales and purchases of investments are
recorded on the settlement date.
(ii) Other financial instruments:
The Association has classified accounts receivable as loans and receivables and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, grants payable and inspection fees payable as
other liabilities.
Upon initial recognition, these financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets and liabilities are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization.
(d) Capital assets:
Furniture, computer equipment and software are stated at cost. Amortization is provided on a
straight-line basis using a rate of 10% per annum for furniture and 25% per annum for
computer equipment and software.
7
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(e) Pension costs and obligations:
The Association has a defined benefit pension plan covering some of its employees. The
benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the best
three years of employment.
The Association also has a defined contribution plan providing pension benefits to its
employees. The cost of the defined contribution plan is recognized based on the
contributions required to be made during each period.
The cost of pension benefits earned by employees is determined using the projected benefit
method pro-rated on services and charged to expense as services are rendered. The
actuarial valuation reflects management’s best estimate of the pension plan’s expected
investment yields, salary escalations, member mortality, and retirement age. Market related
values are used for valuing pension fund assets.
The difference between the cumulative amounts expensed and the funding contributions is
reflected in the balance sheet as a deferred charge or liability as the case may be.
The pension fund is funded in accordance with legal requirements and standard actuarial
practice. Assets of the pension plan are used to purchase life annuities for employees on
retirement when benefits under the plan are increased. Additional annuities are purchased
for retired employees.
(f) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenditure during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. Deferred pension charges:
The latest actuarial valuation was performed as at December 31, 2009. The latest extrapolation
using current assumptions was performed at April 30, 2012.
The reconciliations of the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan to the amount
recorded in the financial statements is as follows:
(a) Plan assets:

included in employee benefit expense shown in the schedule of general administration
expenses. The employer contributions were $89,116 (2011 - $136,443) resulting in net
difference of $10,068 (2011 - $43,104), being the change in the accrued benefit liability.

3. Commitments:
The Association rents office space and equipment under operating leases which expire from May
31, 2015 to October 31, 2017. The minimum annual lease payments for the next five years are
as follows: 2013 - $102,079; 2014 - $102,079; 2015 - $102,079; 2016 - $26,024; and 2017 $4,080.
4. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities:
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, grants payable, inspection fees payable and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short
periods to maturity of these items or because they are receivable or payable on demand.
Investments are recorded at fair value.
The Association believes that it is not exposed to significant currency risk arising from its financial
instruments.
The Association’s interest rate risk relates to its investments in bonds. The Association’s credit
risk relates to its investments in bonds and collectability of accounts receivable.
10
5. Capital disclosures:
The Association considers its capital to consist of its net assets. The Association’s overall
objective with its capital is to fund capital assets, research and ongoing operations. The
Association manages its capital by establishing restricted net assets for research.
The Association is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and its overall strategy
with respect to capital remains unchanged from the year ended April 30, 2011.

Notes afférentes aux états financiers
L'Association canadienne des producteurs de semences (l’ « Association ») est un organisme
sans but lucratif constitué sans capital-actions en vertu de la Loi sur les corporations
canadiennes. L’Association offre des services de lignage des grandes cultures, de concert avec
l’Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments, à plus de 4 000 producteurs de semences au
Canada.
1. Principales conventions comptables
Les états financiers ont été dressés selon les principes comptables généralement reconnus du
Canada et les principales conventions comptables suivantes.
a) Méthode comptable
L’Association applique la méthode du report pour les organismes sans but lucratif pour la
comptabilisation des apports.
b) Constatation des produits
Les produits tirés des honoraires et de la vente de rapports de production sont constatés
lorsque les services sont rendus et que les biens sont vendus. Les apports destinés à l’achat
d’immobilisations sont reportés et amortis à un taux qui correspond au taux d’amortissement
des immobilisations achetées.
c) Instruments financiers
i)
Placements
Les placements sont classés comme étant détenus aux fins de transaction et ils sont
constatés à leur juste valeur. La juste valeur est déterminée aux cours du marché. Les
achats et ventes de placements sont comptabilisés à la date de règlement.
ii)
Autres instruments financiers
L’Association a classé les débiteurs au titre des prêts et des montants à recevoir, et a
classé les créditeurs et charges à payer, les subventions à payer et les honoraires
d’inspection à payer au titre des autres passifs.
Au moment de leur comptabilisation initiale, ces actifs et passifs financiers sont évalués à
leur juste valeur. Après leur constatation initiale, ces actifs et passifs financiers sont
évalués au coût amorti selon la méthode du taux d’intérêt effectif.
7
Notes afférentes aux états financiers (suite)
1. Principales conventions comptables (suite)
d) Immobilisations
Le mobilier, le matériel informatique et les logiciels sont comptabilisés au prix coûtant.
L’amortissement est calculé selon la méthode linéaire au taux annuel de 10 % pour le
mobilier et de 25 % pour le matériel informatique et les logiciels.
e) Coûts et obligations au titre du régime de retraite
L’Association offre un régime de retraite à prestations déterminées qui couvre une partie de
ses employés. Les prestations sont fondées sur les années de service ainsi que sur la
rémunération de l’employé pendant ses trois meilleures années.
L’Association offre aussi un régime de retraite à cotisations déterminées, qui verse des
prestations de retraite à ses employés. Le coût du régime à cotisations déterminées est
constaté en fonction des cotisations devant être faites au cours de chaque période.
Le coût des prestations de retraite gagnées par les employés est calculé selon la méthode de
répartition des prestations au prorata des services et il est passé en charges à mesure que
les services sont rendus. La valeur actuarielle reflète l’estimation optimale par la direction du
rendement des placements du régime de retraite, de l’augmentation des salaires, du taux de
mortalité des participants et de leur âge à la retraite. L’actif du régime de retraite est valorisé
à la valeur du marché.
L’écart entre les montants cumulés passés en charges et les cotisations est présenté au
bilan à titre de charges ou de passifs reportés, selon le cas.
La capitalisation du régime de retraite est conforme aux exigences légales et aux méthodes
actuarielles normalisées. L’actif du régime de retraite est employé à l’achat de rentes
viagères au profit des employés au moment de la retraite lorsque les prestations du régime
sont majorées. Des rentes supplémentaires sont achetées au profit des employés retraités.
f)
Utilisation d’estimations
La préparation d’états financiers conformément aux principes comptables généralement
reconnus du Canada exige de la direction qu’elle fasse des estimations et qu’elle pose des
hypothèses qui auront une influence sur les montants déclarés de l’actif et du passif, sur la
présentation des actifs et des passifs éventuels à la date des états financiers et sur les
montants déclarés des produits et des charges pour la période. Les résultats réels pourraient
différer de ces estimations.
8
2. Charges reportées au titre du régime de retraite
La dernière évaluation actuarielle est en date du 31 décembre 2009. La dernière projection
fondée sur les hypothèses actuelles est en date du 30 avril 2012.
Le rapprochement entre l’état de capitalisation du régime de retraite à prestations déterminées et
le montant constaté dans les états financiers s’établit comme suit :

La charge liée au régime de retraite à prestations déterminées pour l’exercice s’élève à
79 051 $ (93 339 $ en 2011) et elle est comprise dans la charge liée au versement de
prestations aux employés, qui figure dans le Tableau des frais généraux et administratifs. Les
cotisations patronales s’élèvent à 89 116 $ (136 443 $ en 2011), ce qui entraîne un écart net
de 10 068 $ (43 104 $ en 2011), lequel constitue le change du passif au titre des prestations
constituées.

3. Engagements
L'Association loue des locaux à bureaux et du matériel aux termes de contrats de locationexploitation échéant entre le 31 mai 2011 et le 31 janvier 2013. Les paiements annuels minimaux
pour chacun des cinq prochains exercices se répartissent comme suit : 102 079 $ en 2013; 102
079 en 2014; 102 079 en 2015; 26 024 en 2016; et 4 080 $ en 2017.
10
4. Juste valeur des actifs et passifs financiers
La valeur comptable de l’encaisse, des débiteurs, des subventions à payer ainsi que des
honoraires d’inspection à payer et des créditeurs et charges à payer se rapproche de leur juste
valeur, étant donné que ces éléments viennent à échéance à court terme ou bien qu’ils
représentent des montants à recevoir ou à payer à vue.
Les placements sont constatés à la juste valeur.
L’Association estime ne pas encourir de risque de change important relativement à ses
instruments financiers.
Le risque de taux d’intérêt de l’Association correspond à ses placements dans des obligations. Le
risque de crédit de l’Association a un lien avec ses placements dans des obligations et à la
possibilité de recouvrer les débiteurs.
5. Informations concernant le capital
L’Association définit le capital comme étant ses actifs nets. Son objectif général à l’égard du
capital consiste à financer les immobilisations, la recherche et les activités courantes.
L’Association gère son capital en établissant des actifs nets affectés à la recherche.
L’Association n’est pas assujettie à des exigences externes en fait de capital et sa stratégie
globale en la matière demeure inchangée depuis l’exercice terminé le 30 avril 2011.

2012 ROBERTSON ASSOCIATE AWARD RECIPIENTS
This award is presented to those members who have fulfilled with commitment
and success their obligation to the Association
Robertson Associate Award
Guy Crépeau
St-Hugues, Quebec
Born in Saint-Hugues, in 1959, from farming parents, Guy was the youngest of four
children. His parents, Janille and Onil, initiated him early to the production of pedigreed
seeds, being themselves growers and processors of this class of seed.
In 1981, Guy received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from McGill University
(McDonald College), and was gradually entrusted with the management of the family
business, with his father as consultant.
Having acquired a taste for professional
development, Guy was certified by Agriculture Canada and became a germination
analyst for large seeds in 1983. He operates a laboratory accredited by the Canadian
Seed Institute.
In 1985, Guy married Liette Gendron, who has been working with him in the operation of
the business since 1990. Guy has been a seed grower since 1980, and added Select
seed a few years later. He owns 600 acres of beautiful arable land, where he grows
oats, wheat, barley and soybeans. He operates the Semences Crépeau Inc. seed
screening centre. This company is very active in pedigreed seed processing in Québec.
Today, they process an average of 5,000 tonnes of seed per year. Thanks to the seed
production development and education efforts, they can count on elite growers for the
Section 6 - 1
multiplication of seed.
In spite of his busy schedule, Guy is involved in many organizations. He continually
learns through his involvement in municipal organizations from the community. From
1988 to 1996, Guy was a member of the Secan Association Board of Directors. He is the
Director and Chairman of the Association des conditionneurs de semences pedigree du
Québec since 1984. Guy also took part in the development of the Canadian Seed
Institute’s technical manual at the time of its inception. He has been a Director of the
Comax co-operative since 2009. Guy has been involved on many committees.
Section 6 - 2
Lorne Hulme
MacGregor,Manitoba
Lorne Hulme was born and raised on a farm in MacGregor, Manitoba.
From 1977 to 1980 Lorne worked as an agricultural loans officer. In 1980 he became
involved with the 4th generation family farm. During his early years of farming part-time,
he was employed by a national accounting firm in Winnipeg. After 7 years of service, he
became the general manager, and continued in that role for 5 more years. Upon the
death of this father, he came home to operate the farm full time. In 1992 Lorne made
the decision to become a seed grower and planted his first pedigreed crops. The
following year a seed processing plant was built on the farm.
Over the years there have been various changes and upgrades to the seed business. In
October of 2011 plans began for the construction of a new seed cleaning plant. New
cleaning equipment is to arrive this July and the plant should be up and running by the
fall of 2012.
Lorne manages the farm for slow and steady growth. He believes in growing many
crops and being diversified. These methods are used to minimize the risk that is
inherent in grain production. Crops produced are wheat, barley, oats, corn, canola,
hemp, sunflowers, soybeans and edible beans on 5,000 acres of cropland.
Approximately one third of the acreage is for pedigreed seed production. Most of the
seed is processed at the cleaning plant located on the farm.
Lorne has also been involved as a director with many organizations such as Manitoba
Pool Elevators, Keystone Ag Producers, Canterra Seeds and presently the Portage Coop. In 1997 Lorne became a director for the Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association. He
maintained his position on the board until 2005 during which he served two years as
Association President. During the time of his presidency, Manitoba hosted both the
Section 6 - 3
National CSGA Annual General meeting and an Interprovincial meeting. Lorne always
has and continues to enjoy his involvement with other seed growers. He considers seed
growers to be the leaders in their communities. He believes the interaction and
networking with his fellow growers have made him a better seed grower, farmer, and
community person.
Lorne has been married to Liette Lavergne for 19 years. Together they have raised
three children; Janelle, Alexa and Jared. He takes pleasure in spending time with them
and being involved in their various activities. In his spare time he enjoys motorcycling in
the summer and riding his snowmobile in the winter.
Section 6 - 4
Edwin Kiffiak
Foremost,Alberta
Edwin Kiffiak was born on September 3, 1942in Coadale Alberta. He spent most of his
childhood on the family farm south of Legend Alberta. Ed went to school in Foremost
and upon graduation in 1961 he worked in Calgary and took night courses at Mount
Royal College. In 1963 he enrolled in the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Geomatics faculty and graduated in 1965. Following graduation he accepted a position
with an engineering and legal survey firm in Whitehorse Yukon Territories. He
remembers this time of his life when he had great appreciation for the explorers and
adventurers that had preceded him, how they dealt with the cold, the isolation, and basic
everyday survival.
After four years in the North Country he felt in need of an extended holiday. Ed and a
fellow working associate hopped in a Volkswagen van, departed Edmonton and went
travelling. They drove to Eastern Canada, down the Eastern United States seaboard
and then south to the tip of Tierra del Fuego in South America. One year and forty-eight
thousand miles later they returned to Alberta! On the first leg of the trip, in Guatemala in
Central America , he met his wife, Karen Bowser of Orinda, California.
He then spent another two years of legal surveying in Calgary before returning to the
family farm in 1972. On October 7, 1972 Karen and Ed were married and made their
home on the Kiffiak farm. They raised three children, two daughters and a son. Their
first daughter, Rachelle, passed away at the age of 15 in an automobile accident,
second daughter Carolyn is married, living in Lethbridge, and teaching at the Lethbridge
College. Their son Nathan is 18 years old and is graduating from Foremost High School
this year.
Section 6 - 5
When Ed started farming he became interested in the seed industry, and with the help
and encouragement of some prominent local growers he started his first seed production
in 1974.
Ed remembers the help and advice he received from Russel Greeno and Lenard Haney
as he started a probation plot of Wakooma Durum. He became a Select seed grower in
1979. Over the last 40 years he has seen tremendous changes in the seed and farming
industry. Ed started with a 28 foot IHC press drill, pulled by a JA Case open cabbed
tractor, and harvested with an 18 foot Massey Harris open cab (no cab) combine. Not
sure of the number of different kinds and varieties grown Ed is sure it would be in the
hundreds, they have grown cereals , oil seeds , pulses and grass seed.
Living in a small community gives rise to opportunities and obligations to participate in
local enterprises and endeavours. Ed was on the board of many organizations; Hoping
Rural Electrification Association, United Farmers of Alberta, Etzikom Water Organization
and school and church organizations. In support and promotion of the seed industry Ed
was a board member and chairperson of the AgExpo seed fair for 28 years and currently
is a board member on the Foremost Coop Seed Cleaning Plant.
Church and family are very important to Ed and have been a large part of his life. He
has been a member and has held various board positions on the Foremost Evangelical
Free Church over the last 40 years. My highest regards, respect and love go to my
family, especially my wife, Karen, for her support and ongoing love and commitment.
Section 6 - 6
Larry Kitz
Two Hills, Alberta
Larry Kitz was born in Fort Saskatchewan and moved at the age of six with his family to
a farm near Innisfree in 1965. From his father Joe and mother Anne, Larry immediately
took an interest in agriculture and began farming in 1979 growing his first certified seed
crop in 1983. He currently farms with two partners, brothers Garry and Terry who “hold
down the fort” when Larry is at meetings and conferences. The farm has grown to
encompass over 10,000 acres and a 4000 head feedlot. In 1981, the farm applied
minimum tillage practices to reduce soil erosion and better utilize soil moisture. 1988
found Larry visiting Southeast Asia and Australia with the Canadian Seed Growers’
studying farming practices in the Pacific Rim. While there, he was introduced to the first
lines of Roundup Ready canola in research trials. In 1991 with Rob Saik (a.k.a Steve
Stubblejumpski) and Randy Saskiw (Omex) he co-founded “Cropmasters” a producer
group that hosts meetings and tours focused on crop production, marketing, and
conservation in Northeastern Alberta.
In 1992 he married Sheila and they are raising two children, Kassandra and Alexander.
Kassandra is heavily involved in dance with groups from St. Paul to Edmonton and is
contemplating teaching dance this fall. Alexander continues to play minor hockey leading
the Vegreville Wranglers to one of the best seasons in years as captain. Alex has been
selected to play for “Top Guns Canada” in Prague, Czech Republic this August at an
international tournament and yes, Larry will be attending.
Section 6 - 7
In 1996 Larry became a director to the Alberta Branch of the Canadian Seed Growers’
Association and after serving ten years, he spent a short time representing Alberta at the
National Board in Ottawa. He has chaired the Seed Industry Partnership (SIP) consisting
of the seed growers’ and seed plants for five years. SIP is the main thrust behind ACES.
The year 2000 found Larry appointed by the Honorable Shirley McClellan Minister of
Agriculture to the Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture (AESA) Council for six
years, the last year as Chair. In 2004, Larry received the Premier’s Award of Excellence
from Premier Ralph Klein, and in 2005 received the Emerald Award for the work AESA
has done to promote environmentally sustainable best management practices to
farmers. Larry was also honored in May 2005 when His Majesty Prince Philip awarded
him “The Duke of Edinburgh Habitat Conservation Award” in Regina celebrating the
100th anniversaries of Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 2008 Larry created “FieldPro
Custom Services” a trucking and mobile mechanical service company serving the
agricultural and oilfield industries and continues to manage it today.
For the past 10 years Larry has hosted a “Farmers’ Day Golf Tournament” the second
Friday every June. Larry enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, and spending quality time with
family (hauling them to hockey and dancing) and working with producers to improve their
bottom lines.
Section 6 - 8
Herbert & Helen Kletke
Teulon, Manitoba
Herb Kletke was born in Rosenfeld, Manitoba, on July 20, 1934. The family farmed in
Rosenfeld until 1944 when they moved to Teulon to continue grain and livestock
farming. Herb joined the 4-H Seed Club in 1949, and his interest was piqued when the
Club was eligible for different varieties of seed to be grown and multiplied by 4-H
members. One of the first varieties was Herta – a two row barley that originated from
Sweden. The members were allotted one bushel of pedigreed seed. They did
multiplication for two years and then sold seed to some local farmers. Some of the early
varieties beside Herta Barley were Selkirk Wheat and Rodney Oats. This was truly the
beginning of Herb’s interest in farming and being a seed grower.
Helen Kletke, nee Holmstrom, was born in Teulon, Manitoba, on July 26, 1933. She
grew up in Inwood on a mixed farm. Helen became a member of the Inwood 4-H sewing
club and entered many competitions.
Herb and Helen were married in 1956 and began farming in 1959. In 1960 they became
members of CSGA and a short time after were growers of Select seed. They had two
sons, Darrell and Glenn. Darrell was killed in a car accident in 1977.
The Kletke’s have been growing, processing and retailing seed for decades from their
Teulon location with their son Glenn and his wife Maureen joining the operation.
Section 6 - 9
They are founding members and or shareholders in most grower owned seed
distribution companies that have developed in western Canada.
They have been long term seed processors, running multiple lines of equipment
dedicated to processing both the traditional local crops as well as a significant amount of
forage seed from the local Manitoba Interlake region and beyond. Forever looking for
new opportunities with improvement and innovation, the Kletkes developed a
technologically advanced seed coating plant that treats a good portion of western
Canadian canola seed. Herb’s continuing interest in both new varieties and new crops
has made Kletke Seed the nucleus for a lot of new opportunities for local producers in
their area. Many new varieties were introduced to the region from initial Select seed
production that took place on the Kletke farm.
In the 1970’s the Kletke’s started negotiating better prices for chemicals for the farm, and
almost before they knew it, a full-fledged chemical business was in operation. This has
recently been downsized.
Herb and Helen were active members of the International Agricultural Exchange
Program for a number of years. Trainees came from Australia, New Zealand, England
and Scotland, and the Kletke’s are still in touch with most of them. In 1998 they travelled
to Australia to attend a trainee’s wedding, which proved to be a wonderful experience.
Due to their interest in farming, in 2005 they decided to travel to Brazil to see the farming
practices first hand, particularly relating to soybeans. This led to a trip to China in 2006
which really opened their eyes to the antiquated farming practices taking place there.
Both Herb and Helen are in their late 70’s but a love of the farm life and a desire to
accomplish more leaves no time for retirement! They are always busy looking for ideas
and approaches to diversify and be on the cutting edge of farming technology – staying
one step ahead and anticipating the future. The Kletke’s farm about 2,700 acres and
produce a wide variety of crops including wheat, oats, barley, canola, soybeans and
hemp. To manage both the farm and the multiple processing operation, the business
employs 5 part-time and 12 full-time employees.
Herb has a history of public service: a director of the Prairie East Sustainable Ag
Initiative, a Manitoba Pool member, Teulon Town Council, a founding member of the
Volunteer Ambulance, as well as all positions on the Lutheran Church Council. His
hobbies are fishing and spending as much time at the cottage as possible.
Helen is a member of the Lutheran LCW, the Teulon Ladies Curling Club and is a 50+
year member of the Teulon Women’s Institute. She also taught the Bethel Bible Series
for many years. Her hobbies are knitting, crocheting, needlework and reading.
Section 6 - 10
Edward & Shirley Persely
Bonnyville, Alberta
From an early age, Ed and Shirley enjoyed the outdoors and the farming lifestyle. After
their marriage in 1959, they were seeking an opportunity to pursue a farming career.
For several years, Ed assisted a farmer who experienced health problems. When this
friend decided to sell his half section of land in 1966, Ed and Shirley purchased it and
gradually added more land as it became available. They became pedigreed seed
growers, enjoying all aspects of the industry, supplying a good share of the local seed
market. Presently, they are the only registered seed growers in the Bonnyville area.
They now grow 3500 acres of pedigreed and commercial crops of peas, wheat, barley,
oats, and canola.
Keeping up with the latest trends in agricultural production and technology, and being an
asset to the community is important to Ed and Shirley. In 1997 they each received a
certificate in agri-management upon completion of a 3 year program sponsored by the
Ferguson Institute, University of Tulsa. When the need arose, they started an aerial
spraying company which they operated for 7 years. Shirley taught school for 25 years
and Ed was a refrigeration technician for over 30 years. They both support their church;
Shirley taught Sunday School and Ed is still an elder. Eighteen years ago, they helped
organize the Canadian Foodgrains Bank Growing Project in which they continue to serve
on the committee and participate in the field work. Ed served as a director of the
Lakeland Regional Agricultural Association, the Bonnyville Historical Society, and the
Bonnyville Municipal Seed Cleaning Co-op.
Section 6 - 11
Shirley manages the farm financial accounting.
Having their son, Forrest, involved in the farming operation has been an encouragement.
Forrest was born in 1967 and in 1984 they adopted their daughter Tammy when she
was 9 years old . Ed and Shirley are presently working through their farm succession
plan. Tammy, has training in business administration, so she and her family have other
career interests. Forrest and his wife, Bobbi, have chosen to be the successors of the
farm. Two of their children enjoy helping with the field work.
Producing quality pedigreed seed has been a priority in Ed and Shirley’s life. They are
honored to receive the Robertson Association Award!
Section 6 - 12
Cecil Reisner
Limerick, Saskatchewan
Barry Reisner accepted the award on Cecil’s behalf.
Cecil was born in 1931 on the family farm at Limerick, Sk.
The farm was homesteaded by his grandfather in 1908.
He attended school in Limerick and later attended the
University of Saskatchewan, graduating with a geology
degree in 1952.
Cecil started farming in 1949 with his father. He started
producing Certified seed in 1969. Over the past 42 years
he has produced and processed a large volume of quality
seed and sold it at a fair price. Soil conservation is an
important part of his farming practices.
Cecil married Margaret Buchanan who had also attended
Margaret & Cecil Reisner
Limerick school. They raised a family of four children who
have given them great joy and entertainment.
Gail teaches music and lives near Limerick. Barry farms with Cecil and lives near
Limerick. Debra is a medical Doctor and lives in Saskatoon Sk. Janice is a physical
therapist and lives in Edmonton AB.
They also have 11 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.
