The meeting opened at 8:00 a.m. Thursday, July 11 at the Nova Scotian Westin Halifax,

A report was presented by Roy van Wyk, Executive Director of the Canadian Seed

President’s Report – Jim Baillie
On behalf of Maritime Seed Growers, I welcome you to Nova Scotia. I ask that you take
some time to enjoy our culture and gain an understanding of our agriculture sector.
There is time on the agenda dedicated to sectors in local agriculture that are unique to
the Maritimes.
Your Board of Directors acknowledge your time and the dedication to the Canadian
Pedigree Seed Sector. We, as farmers at this time of year, are into the development of
another crop. By your attendance at the CSGA AGM your commitment to the seed
industry is reflected in many ways.
A brief review of ongoing CSGA activities and upcoming focus including:
 Alternative Service Delivery is top of mind for us as growers. Your Board has
taken direction from you and, CSGA has been the leader in the development
and implementation of the new inspection system. On-going work by CFIA,
other seed industry players, and information coming from Branch Meetings is
coming into place. We recognize this is development in progress and
perfecting the system will be ongoing.
 I am pleased to report that the update of our data and information system is
progressing on plan. It complements the future success of ASD privatization.
The system is designed to be responsive, efficient and accurate.
 The Revisions to CSGA By-Laws has been a major activity for your Board
and Management. As you are aware you will debate and have final approval
to the By-Law changes.
 I encourage you to be active in the Variety Registration Review that has
begun. There will be ample time made available for suggested changes
and/or maintaining status quo.
I acknowledge the support of your elected Board of Directors, Advisors to your Board
and the professionalism and dedication of CSGA Employees.
I want to thank all the Members of CSGA for your input and commitment and look
forward to working with you in the upcoming year.

Education & Publicity Report – Julie Robinson
The E&P Committee has been busy at work. Here is an overview of our latest initiatives:
Four issues of CSGA’s electronic newsletter Seed Scoop were released this year. Our
magazine, Seed to Succeed, was published in the fall and spring.
Significant updates were done to the Seed Education Modules this past year to keep
them current. They continue to be available to university, college and high school
instructors for use in their courses.
CSGA will be launching a new website shortly. The website will have three sections to
provide targeted messaging to three different audiences: farmers who are using Certified
seed to plant their commercial acreages, food processors who are using grains and
oilseeds grown from Certified seed in their food products and CSGA seed grower
members.
A flowchart was developed to help explain how Certified seed is produced. The
flowchart will be used in print and electronically on the website.
End-User Advocacy remains an objective of the CSGA Board. The objective is to
create awareness of the Certified Advantage among end-users including grain handlers
and food processors. Advertising has been placed in the Baker’s Journal, Food in
Canada Magazine e-newsletter, Food Quality magazine e-newsletter, the Canadian
Institute of Food Science Technology website and the magazine of the Baking
Association of Canada.
An electronic media kit was developed to engage food trade media and food trade
communicators and provide them with the tools to help them promote the Certified
Advantage message.
Two editorials were pitched and placed in food industry publications. Stories focused
on the important role played by seed growers and Certified seed in delivery innovative
products, quality assurance and traceability. Food in Canada published in January 2013
the article “Making the Connection” while the Baker’s Journal will be running this July the
article “Wheat program targets specific milling and baking needs".
Three short video interviews were developed and posted to YouTube. They will also
be used in the new CSGA website. The clips feature seed industry stakeholders, Todd
Hyra of SeCan, Melonie Stoughton-Ens of the Canadian Grain Commission and Peter
Johnson of OMAFRA, sharing information about innovative seed products and initiatives
and the benefits they provide for end-users.
CSGA sponsored the Baking Association of Canada 2013 Bakery Congress in
Vancouver.
The Certified seed tag logo was updated with a new tag line “Quality Food. Quality
Ingredients” for use in communications with an end-user audience.
Section 2 - 3
CSGA partnered with the Canadian Grain Commission to develop a soybean focused
brochure promoting the benefits of Certified seed. The brochure was developed in
English, French and Japanese, the latter used as part of a trade delegation mission to
Japan in January 2013.

conditionnelle aux fins de vente à l’échelle locale dans la région;
ATTENDU QUE des niveaux pédigrés plus élevés seraient réalisés par l’ACIA ou un
inspecteur de tierce partie accrédité de l’ACIA et que des contrôles aléatoires sont déjà
prévus. Par conséquent, l’intégrité et la crédibilité de l’étiquette bleue Certifiée sera
maintenue tout en rendant la production certifiée plus concurrentielle par rapport à la
semence conservée par les agriculteurs.

Auditors’ Report to the Members
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association as at April 30, 2013,
April 30, 2012 and May 1, 2011 and its results of operations, changes in net assets and
its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2013 and April 30, 2012 in accordance with
Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.
Report on Other Legal Requirements
As required by the Canada Corporations Act, we report that, in our opinion, the
accounting principles in the Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit
organizations have been applied on a consistent basis.
À notre avis, les états financiers donnent, dans tous leurs aspects significatifs, une
image fidèle de la situation financière de l’Association canadienne des producteurs de
semences au 30 avril 2013, au 30 avril 2012 et au 1er mai 2011, ainsi que de ses
résultats d’exploitation, de l’évolution de son actif net et de ses flux de trésorerie pour
les exercices clos les 30 avril 2013 et le 30 avril 2012, conformément aux Normes
comptables canadiennes pour les organismes sans but lucratif.
Rapport sur les autres exigences légales
Comme l’exige la Loi sur les corporations canadiennes, nous déclarons que, à notre
avis, les principes comptables des Normes comptables canadiennes pour les organismes
sans but lucratif ont été appliqués de façon cohérente.

Deferred Pension Liability
An explanation:
The defined benefit pension expense for the year was
$172,667 and is included as part of the employee benefit
expense shown in the Schedule of General Administration
Expenditures.
The $172,667* expense is derived by the actuarial and
provided to the auditors. Because CSGA had contributed
$89,640, there is a difference of $83,027 which represents
the difference in accrued benefit liability between last
year and this year. When added to last year’s deferred
pension of $81,367, it totals $164,394.
The calculation for deriving the expense for the year is:

Statement of Operations
Last year, the audited statements reported an operating
surplus of $146,654. This year, the surplus for 2011-12 is
reported as $158,295. This is a result of a previous year
adjustment due to revised accounting principles for notfor-profits.
A similar adjustment was made going back two years.
That adjustment increased the deferred pension liability
from $9,942 in 2010-11 to $103,076. That change is
reported in Note 8 of the statements.

Norm Lyster
– Board of Directors’ Report
As you can well imagine, your CSGA Board of Directors and staff have
spent a considerable amount of time over the past 12 months on Alternative
Service Delivery.
Other issues that national Directors, staff and Branch Directors have also
been involved in over the past 12 months relate to:
1. Variety Registration discussions
2. UPOV ‘91 and end-point royalties
3. CropLife standards for seed treatment facilities handling & storage of
seed treatments
Norm Lyster
Variety Registration
AAFC is launching a consultation on variety registration. This stems
primarily from the criticism of the wheat variety registration system but
AAFC is encompassing all crops subject to registration. They are looking at
4 different scenarios:
1. Status quo with crops in Part 1 moving to Part 2 or Part 3 upon
request and agreement of the specific crop kind’s value chain.
2. Move all crops to Part 3 (listing). Value chains would come forward
to request their crop kind move
into Part 1 or Part 2.
3. Move all crops to Part 3. Eliminate
Parts 1 & 2.
4. Make all crops exempt from variety
registration. Remove government
oversight on variety registration.
Norm Lyster
CSGA Policy on Variety Registration
• CSGA supports a predictable, flexible regulatory system that encourages
innovation and investment. CSGA supports a tiered variety registration
system characterized by Crop Specific Consultative Groups through
which individual crop kinds, and all the components of the value-chain
associated with those crop kinds, can tailor the variety registration system
to their needs. CSGA also supports a risk based, identity preserved
contract registration system that recognizes market pull demands for
certain varieties that would not otherwise meet variety registration
requirements.
• The CSGA supports pre-registration variety performance testing for all
crop kinds unless a suitable alternative is in place.
• CSGA supports a provision for merit assessment of new varieties be
maintained in revisions to the variety registration system.
Norm Lyster
UPOV ‘91 and End-Point Royalties
It is expected if Canada moves to ratify UPOV ’91 that it will encourage
further investment by the private sector in plant breeding in Canada.
It is also expected it would pave the way for a system of end-point royalties
in Canada. End-point royalties are seen as one way for variety developers
to capture value for their investment.
Norm Lyster
CSGA Policy on UPOV ‘91
CSGA supports revisions to PBR with the following conditions:
1. the farmers’ privilege provision should provide the right for the farmer
to save and condition, or have conditioned, legitimately acquired varieties
for his/her own future use, but not for sale to others;
2. disclosure of the cascading right needs to be made at time of seed
purchase to remove uncertainty of future liability related to the payment
of fees or royalties;
3. the extension of the term of breeders’ rights should be limited to the
minimum number of years provided for by
UPOV ’91.
Norm Lyster
CSGA Policy on End-Point Royalties
Policies, programs, structures and regulatory systems to fund both public
and private plant breeding and research should reward the plant breeding
community for investment in new varieties; encourage increased use of
Certified seed; and stimulate investment in innovation.
Policies, programs, structures and regulatory systems should recognize and
enhance the role of both the public and private sectors in plant breeding and
take into account the significant role the entire seed sector plays in delivering
innovation to farmers.
Any end point royalty or delivered grain levy system should reward farmers
for the use of Certified seed. This might be accomplished by
not having the levy collected on grain where Certified
seed was used to plant the crop.
Norm Lyster
CropLife Standards for Seed Treatment Facilities
Over the past 2 years, CropLife has been working on the development of
seed treatment facility standards related to storage and handling of seed
treatments at those facilities.
CSGA Directors, staff and Branch Directors have attended two CropLife
meetings this past year.
The standard is near completion and is in a consultation stage.
The expectation by CropLife is that most seed treatments registered
beyond 2014 would be for commercial use only and used in a facility
accredited to this new standard.

• A series of three letters were sent to the Minister and one letter was sent to
the CFIA President.
• CFIA has committed to providing seed crop inspection when/where
alternative service delivery is not available.
• CFIA will be operating under cost recovery for
• check inspections and training.
Resolution #4:
CSGA request, from the investment firm who carries CSGA’s
Defined Benefit Pension Fund, a report on the future rewards
and/or liability to CSGA for participating in this Pension
Fund.
• An actuarial valuation determines the pension plan’s assets,
liabilities and the annual service cost to CSGA.
• A valuation was completed as of November 30th, 2012.
• The annual cost increased approximately
$40,000 per year to 18% of salaries (up
from 17%).
Three types of valuation are completed:
1. Going Concern
• A going concern valuation is performed to determine the
value of the assets and the liability of a plan using actuarial
methods & assumptions.
• When the liability exceeds assets, the employer is required to
make special payments to amortize the unfunded liability
over a period not exceeding 15 years.
2. Hypothetical Wind-up
• The hypothetical wind-up valuation assumes the plan is shut
down at the date of valuation.
• Because of the wind up scenario, this valuation does not take
into account the contributions for annual service costs made
from, or made by, a going concern and/or solvency valuation.
• The wind-up deficiency in this valuation was $2,285,391
compared to just under $1.0 million 3 years ago.
3. Solvency
• The purpose of a solvency valuation is to determine the
financial position of the plan as if it were wound up at the
valuation date. However, it’s assumed the plan continues.
• If a solvency deficiency arises, it must be amortized by
special payments over a period of no more than 5 years.
• The current solvency surplus is $68,377 – down about
$165,000 from 3 years ago.
An actuarial valuation is performed to:
• Monitor the funding of the Plan for the purpose of
accumulating assets to provide for the benefits in advance of
their actual payments;
• Calculate the Employer’s contributions in accordance with
the requirements of the Ontario Pension Benefits Act, the
Income Tax Act, and their respective Regulations; and
• Examine the solvency of the Plan as required under the
Pension Benefits Act of Ontario.
The minimum annual Employer contribution required
under the Pension Benefits Act is the Employer portion
of the current service cost plus special payments
required to amortize any existing deficiency.
• In respect of current service: 261% (up from 239%) of
member contributions. $73,000 per year as compared
to $81,811 in 2009.
• In respect of funding deficiencies: $5,421 per month
(compared to $2,031 previously)

Dr. Claude Caldwell
Claude Denis Caldwell was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia and grew up a country boy in
Hants County, working summers on nearby mixed farms. He attended Mount Allison
University, graduating with a BSc (Hon) in Biology in 1972. He continued his education
at the University of Toronto and Dalhousie University (MSc in Eco-physiology) and the
University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, where he graduated with a PhD in Biophysics
in 1977. During his early teaching career, he taught both Junior High and Senior High
Biology and was the first House Master of the Girls’ residence at King’s-Edgehill School.
After that he ventured west, initially as a Northern Manitoba “Flying Professor” for
Brandon University.
Claude’s education into agriculture was provided by the farmers of Central Alberta and
the scientists and technicians at the AAFC Research Station at Lacombe Alberta. He
was appointed Research Scientist in cereals and oilseeds in 1980, and a wise Director
gave him two pieces of advice: 1. “Anything you ask your technicians to do, you must
also do with them” (i.e., learn what is reasonable in field research) and 2. “Do not talk to
a farmer for one year” (i.e., do not make a fool of yourself and AAFC). This advice has
served him well over the years as he learned new aspects of agriculture from both
formal and informal (farmer) authorities.
Section 4 - 2
Claude and his wife, Lynn, and their three children moved back East in 1983 to take up a
teaching/research position at the expanding Nova Scotia Agricultural College. This initial
5-year plan turned into a long-term commitment to agriculture in Eastern Canada. Since
his arrival, Claude has provided leadership to R&D for cereals and oilseeds in the
Atlantic Provinces.
In collaboration with breeders such as Dr Hans Nass and Dr Alek Choo, Claude led a
program of development which resulted in improved germplasm and management
methods for wheat and barley in Eastern Canada, making grain production more
sustainable economically and environmentally. He was one of the founding members of
the Eastern Expert Committee on Cereals and Oilseeds, and has enjoyed serving on
numerous government and industry committees supporting innovation in agriculture.
One of the highlights was his nine years on the National Board of the CSGA, where he
claims he was able to meet some of the best business folks and just plain great people
ever.
Over the past 10 years, Claude’s work has turned to introducing new crops and new
uses for old crops to help diversify sustainable opportunities for farmers both here and
abroad. He has had the opportunity to support international projects in 10 countries in
Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. His cropping systems and agroecology research in
Fujian Province, China, led to the development of a research team, whose work has
reduced both soil and water pollution in the city of Fuzhou. Recently, he and a Chinese
colleague and friend have co-authored a new textbook on Agroecology, in both Chinese
and English.
Today, Claude enjoys doing the research he loves, teaching students he enjoys and
doing development work throughout the world, while quietly taking on the role of
Associate Dean Academic of the Faculty of Agriculture of Dalhousie University.

Claude Denis Caldwell est né à Windsor, en Nouvelle-Écosse, et a grandi dans le comté
de Hants où, pendant l’été, il travaillait dans des fermes mixtes. Il a fait ses études à
l’Université Mount Allison où il a obtenu son baccalauréat spécialisé en biologie en
1972. Il a poursuivi ses études à l’Université de Toronto et à l’Université Dalhousie
(maîtrise ès sciences en écophysiologie) et à l’Université d’East Anglia à Norwich, au
Royaume-Uni, où il a obtenu un doctorat en biophysique en 1977. Au début de sa
carrière de professeur, il a enseigné la biologie à l’école intermédiaire et à l’école
secondaire de deuxième cycle et a été le premier professeur responsable de la
résidence des filles de la King’s-Edgehill School. Par la suite, il s’est installé dans
l’Ouest, où il a d’abord été « professeur volant » dans le Nord du Manitoba pour
l’Université de Brandon.
Les connaissances de Claude dans le domaine de l’agriculture lui sont venues des
agriculteurs du centre de l’Alberta et des scientifiques et techniciens à la station de
recherche d’AAC à Lacombe, en Alberta. En 1980, il a été nommé chercheur
scientifique dans le domaine des céréales et des oléagineux. Un directeur avisé lui a
donné deux conseils : 1. « Tout ce que vous demandez à vos techniciens de faire, vous
devez également le faire avec eux » (c.-à-d., apprendre ce qui est raisonnable dans la
recherche sur le terrain) et 2. « Attendez un an avant de parler à un agriculteur » (c.-àd., ne vous couvrez pas de ridicule, vous et AAC). Au fil des ans, ces conseils lui ont
servi à mesure qu’il apprenait de nouveaux aspects de l’agriculture, tant des autorités
formelles qu’informelles (agriculteurs).
Section 4 - 3
En 1983, Claude, son épouse Lynn et leurs enfants sont retournés dans l’Est où il a
occupé un poste dans l’enseignement et la recherche au Collège de l’agriculture de la
Nouvelle-Écosse, alors en pleine expansion. Ce premier plan quinquennal s’est
transformé en engagement à long terme envers l’agriculture dans l’Est du Canada.
Depuis son arrivée, Claude a fait preuve de leadership en R-D dans le domaine des
céréales et des oléagineux dans les provinces de l'Atlantique.
En collaboration avec des sélectionneurs comme Hans Nass et Alek Choo, Claude a
dirigé un programme de développement qui a permis d’améliorer les méthodes de
valorisation du matériel génétique et de gestion de la culture du blé et de l’orge dans
l’Est canadien, rendant la production de céréales plus durable sur les plans économique
et environnemental. Il a été l’un des membres fondateurs du Comité d’experts de l’Est
sur les céréales et oléagineux, et il a apprécié faire partie de nombreux comités
gouvernementaux et de l’industrie appuyant l’innovation en agriculture. L’un des faits
saillants de sa carrière a été les neuf années qu’il a passées au sein du conseil national
de l’ACPS, où il soutient avoir pu rencontrer quelques-uns des meilleurs gens d’affaires
qui soient ainsi que des gens tout simplement extraordinaires.
Au cours des 10 dernières années, le travail de Claude s’est orienté vers l’introduction
de nouvelles cultures et de nouvelles utilisations pour les anciennes cultures afin d’aider
à diversifier les perspectives durables pour les agriculteurs, tant au Canada qu’à
l’étranger. Il a eu l’occasion d’appuyer des projets internationaux dans 10 pays d’Afrique,
d’Asie et des Caraïbes. Ses systèmes de culture et ses recherches en agroécologie
dans la province du Fujian, en Chine, ont mené à la mise sur pied d’une équipe de
recherche dont les travaux ont permis de réduire la pollution du sol et de l’eau dans la
ville du Fuzhou. Récemment, un collègue et ami chinois et lui-même ont corédigé un
nouveau manuel sur l'agroécologie, en chinois et en anglais.
Aujourd’hui, Claude fait les recherches qu’il aime, enseigne aux étudiants qu’il apprécie
et fait du travail de développement partout dans le monde, tout en assumant
discrètement le rôle de doyen associé des études de la Faculté de l'agriculture de
l'Université Dalhousie.

Don McClure
Arva, Ontario
Don is a Soybean Product Development Scientist and the Soybean Research Manager
for Canada, based out of the Syngenta Canada - Arva, Ontario research office.
Don grew up on a dairy farm in Halton County and completed both Bachelors and a
Masters Degree from the University of Guelph, in Resources Management and Genetics
and Plant Breeding, respectively. Don has been with the company for 37 years, starting
in 1976 with the Northrup King Seeds group. In the early years he held several positions
in the corn research department.
In 1983 the Arva, Ontario soybean breeding project had modest beginnings. The project
was officially only to be a part-time assignment for Don but soon demanded full-time
attention. It was at this point that Don assumed the management of the soybean
breeding project for the company.
The focus of his breeding program has been on early maturity conventional Food Grade
types for the Canadian market and Glyphosate Tolerant varieties for Canada and the
U.S.A. Several well known varieties marketed by Syngenta Seeds have been released
by the Arva research program. Canadian seed growers would recognize such as
conventional varieties S00-66, S08-80, S03-W4, S25-D3, S18-R6, S20-G7, S07-D2 and
the glyphosate tolerance lines S04-Z9, S08-C3, S14-A7 and S21-N6.
Section 5 - 5
Syngenta conventional varieties are also recognized for their significant role in
expanding the Soybean Export sector of our business. Many people have recognized
the benefits of growing Arva developed varieties, from the Canadian grower who
receives Identity Preserved contract premiums to the Asian soybean importers that
favour them for Tofu and Soymilk production for their local markets.
Currently, Don continues his work to develop even better conventional Food Grade
varieties for Eastern Canada, as well as, early maturity glyphosate tolerant varieties for
the new and exciting production area in Western Canada.
Under Don’s direction the Arva Soybean Breeding Program has had many successes:
 Over 100 commercial varieties have been released to date
 Over 55 varieties from the program have had U.S. utility patents filed
 Over 40 varieties with PBR or PVP applications filed
 Commercial production of Syngenta varieties in Canada, the northern U.S. and
Europe
In 2009, Don was recognized for his contributions to seed industry and awarded the
Plant Breeder of the Year by the Canadian Seed Trade Association.
Don and his wife have three grown children and live on a small cash crop farm west of
London, Ontario.

Don est un scientifique œuvrant dans le domaine de la mise au point de produits à base

recherches de Syngenta Canada à Arva, en Ontario.
Don a grandi dans une ferme laitière du comté de Halton et obtenu son baccalauréat et
sa maîtrise de l’Université de Guelph, en gestion des ressources et en génétique et
sélection des végétaux respectivement. Don est à l’emploi de l’entreprise depuis 37 ans,
ayant commencé en 1976 avec le groupe Northrup King Seeds. Au cours des premières
années, il a occupé plusieurs postes dans le département de la recherche sur le maïs.
En 1983, le projet de sélection du soya à Arva, en Ontario, a connu un départ modeste.
Officiellement, le projet n’était qu’une affectation à temps partiel pour Don, mais a
rapidement exigé toute son attention. C’est à ce moment-là que Don a pris la direction
du projet de sélection du soya pour l’entreprise.
Son programme de sélection mettait l’accent sur les variétés conventionnelles de
maturité précoce de qualité alimentaire pour le marché canadien et les variétés tolérant
le glyphosate pour le Canada et les États-Unis. Plusieurs variétés très connues mises
en marché par Syngenta Seeds sont issues du programme de recherches d’Arva. Les
producteurs de semences du Canada reconnaîtraient les variétés conventionnelles S0066, S08-80, S03-W4, S25-D3, S18-R6, S20-G7, S07-D2, et les lignées tolérant le
glyphosate S04-Z9, S08-C3, S14-A7 et S21-N6.
Section 5 - 6
Les variétés conventionnelles de Syngenta sont également reconnues pour leur rôle
important dans l’expansion du secteur des exportations de soya de notre industrie. De
nombreuses personnes ont reconnu les avantages de produire les variétés mises au
point à Arva, depuis le producteur canadien qui reçoit des primes contractuelles liées à
la ségrégation jusqu’aux importateurs de soya d’Asie qui les préfèrent pour la production
de tofu et de lait de soya pour leurs marchés locaux.
Sous la direction de Don, le programme de sélection du soya d’Arva a connu de
nombreux succès :
 Jusqu’à maintenant, plus de 100 variétés commerciales ont été produites
 Plus de 55 variétés issues du programme ont fait l’objet de demandes de brevets
de modèle d’utilité aux États-Unis
 Plus de 40 variétés ont fait l’objet de demandes de POV
 Production commerciale de variétés de Syngenta, au Canada, dans le Nord des
États-Unis et en Europe
En 2009, on a souligné les contributions de Don à l’industrie des semences et on lui a
décerné le prix Sélectionneur de l’année de l’Association canadienne du commerce des
semences
Don et son épouse sont les parents de trois enfants maintenant adultes et vivent dans
une petite ferme de cultures commerciales à l’ouest de London, en Ontario.

Bob Hart
Woodstock, Ontario
Robert (Bob) Hart and his wife Shannon live with their three sons in Woodstock, Ontario.
After graduation from the University of Guelph in 1983, Bob joined his father and brother
on the family farm producing corn, soybeans and winter wheat. While continuing to farm,
he completed his MSc in 1988. He has been involved in pedigree seed production for his
entire farming career and served on the OSGA board for many years. Bob was the
OSGA president in 2003 - 2004 and he was a director on the National Board from 2005
to 2009.was the chairman of the organizing committee for the 100th CSGA anniversary
annual meeting held in Ottawa in 2004. Shannon has always been very supportive of
Bob’s Seed Grower efforts and organized the Children’s program for the CSGA Annual
meetings held in Toronto and in Ottawa.
CSGA Annual Report/ACPS Rapport Annuel 2013
Section 6 - 1
Shortly after coming home to farm, Bob was challenged by his father to come up with an
enterprise that would gross $100,000 per year. In response to this, a very successful
seed processing business called Agworks Inc. was established in 1987. In 1995, Bob
invited 6 other Ontario Seed producers to join Agworks and form PRO Seeds, a seed
marketing and distribution company which established a distribution and dealer network
across Eastern Canada. About 10 years ago, Agworks started in the food-grade
soybean business and by 2010 was shipping 30,000 tonnes annually of non-GMO
soybeans all produced from certified seed. Through the food-grade business, the Hart’s
started working with the Hendrick family in the Ottawa area. In January of 2012,
Agworks, PRO Seeds, Hendrick Seeds and Hendrick Agrifoods were all merged
together to form Sevita International. Sevita covers all aspects of the soybean value
chain; from plant breeding and varietal development, to seed marketing and distribution,
to contracting the production back for food-grade exports, to processing and shipping the
food-grade beans, to selling them directly to the overseas customers. Sevita has over 70
employees and Bob is the president.
Bob has greatly enjoyed the opportunities that the seed industry has provided him and
the opportunity to get to know fellow seedsmen across Canada.

Robert (Bob) Hart et sa femme Shannon habitent à Woodstock, en Ontario, avec leurs
trois fils. Après avoir terminé ses études à l'Université de Guelph en 1983, Bob rejoint
son père et son frère au sein de l'exploitation agricole familiale qui produit du maïs, du
soya et du blé d’hiver. Tout en continuant de travailler à la ferme, il termine sa maîtrise
ès sciences en 1988. Il a œuvré dans la production de semences pédigrées tout au long
de sa carrière agricole et a été membre du conseil d'administration de l'OSGA pendant
de nombreuses années. Bob a été président de l'OSGA en 2003-2004 et a été
administrateur au sein du conseil national, de 2005 à 2009. Il a été président du comité
organisateur de l'assemblée annuelle soulignant le 100e anniversaire de l'ACPS qui s'est
tenu à Ottawa en 2004. Shannon a toujours appuyé Bob dans son travail de producteur
de semences et a organisé le programme destiné aux enfants dans le cadre des
assemblées annuelles de l’ACPS qui ont eu lieu à Toronto et à Ottawa.
Peu de temps après son retour à la ferme familiale, Bob a relevé le défi de son père de
mettre sur pied une entreprise dont le chiffre d’affaires serait de 100 000 $ par année.
En 1987, il a fondé une entreprise de conditionnement des semences très prospère,
Agworks Inc. En 1995, Bob a invité six autres producteurs de semences ontariens à se
joindre à Agwords et a formé PRO Seeds, une entreprise de mise en marché et de
distribution de semences qui a établi un réseau de distribution et de concessionnaires
dans tout l’Est du Canada. Il y a environ 10 ans, Agworks a lancé une entreprise de
production de soya de qualité alimentaire et dès 2010, elle expédiait 30 000 tonnes par
année de soya sans OGM produit entièrement à partir de semences certifiées. Par le
biais de l’entreprise de production de produits de qualité alimentaire, la famille Hart a
commencé à collaborer avec la famille Hendrick dans la région d’Ottawa. En janvier
2012, Agworks, PRO Seeds, Hendricks Seeds et Hendrick Agrifoods se sont fusionnées
pour créer Sevita International. Sevita couvre tous les aspects de la chaîne de valeur du
soya, depuis la sélection des végétaux et la création de variétés jusqu’à la vente directe
à des clients de l’étranger, en passant par la distribution et la mise en marché des
semences, l’affermage de la production pour des exportations de qualité alimentaire, le
conditionnement et l'expédition de fèves de qualité alimentaire. Sevita compte plus de
70 employés et Bob en est le président.

Bob a apprécié au plus haut point les occasions que l’industrie des semences lui a
offertes, en plus d’avoir la chance d’apprendre à connaître ses collègues producteurs de
semences d’un bout à l’autre du Canada.
Louis-Marie Gagnon
Notre-Dame-du-Portage, Québec
Louis-Marie, the eldest in a family of six, was born in 1943 in the small village of NotreDame-du-Portage, located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in the Lower
St. Lawrence region. In 1966, after completing his business studies, he took the helm of
the family farm with his wife, Irène Lizotte. They have four boys named Richard,
Jacques, Pascal and François.
The farm operation was diversified, from dairy to hay, grain and potato farming.
Following the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway which ran through his lands,
the farm abandoned dairy production and specialized in growing table potatoes. Locally
marketed until 1984, the table potato crop was transformed into a Certified, Foundation
and Elite seed crop. For more than ten years, the farm produced greenhouse Pre-Elite
seeds from cuttings. In 2008, potato production was abandoned.
In 1975, Louis-Marie started growing pedigreed seeds of barley, oat and wheat. In 1978,
he added a processing center to his farm for its own needs and became a member of
Secan at about the same time, of which he is still a member. In the early 1990s, he
became a Select grower.
In 1994, his farm became a company, Ferme Portageoise Inc. His son Jacques became
the 6th generation of the Gagnon family to operate the farm. Since 2008, the farm
produces approximately 400 acres of Certified, Registered, Foundation and Select
Section 6 - 3
seeds. Half the production comes from direct seeding. Two hundred more acres are
dedicated, in rotation, to hay, canola and green fertilizer.
Having transferred majority ownership to Jacques, Louis-Marie is involved with the farm,
and helps with the equipment modification and maintenance. The good relationship
between father and son ensures the survival of the business.
Louis-Marie has a very active social life. In 1970, after taking a course in agricultural
facilitation at Laval University, he directed classes on agricultural apprenticeship for five
years (adult education). On the municipal level, Louis was city councillor from 1975 to
1981, chaired the organizing committee for the 125th anniversary of Notre-Dame-duPortage “Les Retrouvailles” (which was a great success) and was mayor from 1982 to
1988.
Member of the UCC, now the UPA, he was president of the St-Alexandre sector from
1967 to 1976, regional president of the South Shore from 1976 to 1981 and member of
the provincial executive in 1979 and 1980. Louis-Marie was also president of the
Syndicat des producteurs de pommes de terre Côte-Sud from 1981 to 1986, and sat on
the board of directors of the Fédération provinciale des producteurs de pommes de terre
from 1982 to 1984
From 1997 to 2006, Louis-Marie sat on the board of directors of the Syndicat des
producteurs de semences pédigrées du Québec, where he realized the great importance
of pedigreed seeds in Canada and visited our beautiful country to attend CSGA annual
meetings.
Always seeking to improve his expertise by applying new techniques and trying new
varieties, Louis-Marie does not hesitate to share his experience with his colleagues for
their benefit.
Now in pre-retirement, Louis-Marie is a member of many cultural committees in his
parish, which gives him time to ride his motorcycle on the roads of his beautiful region.

Aîné d'une famille de six enfants, Louis-Marie a vu le jour en 1943 à Notre-Dame-duPortage, un petit village situé en bordure du fleuve dans la région du Bas Saint-Laurent.
Après avoir complété ses études commerciales, il reprend la ferme familiale avec son
épouse, Irène Lizotte en 1966. Ils auront 4 garçons: Richard, Jacques, Pascal et
François.
La production de la ferme était diversifiée: laitière, foin, céréale et pomme de terre. En
1970, à la suite de la construction de la route Transcanadienne qui passait au centre de
ses terres, la ferme abandonna la production laitière pour se spécialiser dans la
production de pomme de terre de consommation. Au départ commercialisée localement
jusqu'en 1984, la production de pomme de terre de consommation est devenue une
production de semences: Certifiée, Fondation et Elite. La ferme a produit durant plus de
dix ans de la Pré-Elite en serre à partir de bouturage. En 2008, la production de pomme
de terre a été abandonnée.
Section 6 - 4
C'est en 1975 que Louis-Marie débute la production de semences pedigree d'orge,
d'avoine et de blé. En 1978, Louis-Marie ajoute un centre de conditionnement à la
ferme pour les besoins de celle-ci et, environ au même moment, il devient membre de
Secan dont il fait encore partie. Louis-Marie est devenu producteur Select au début des
années 1990.
En 1994, la ferme est devenue une compagnie: Ferme Portageoise Inc., avec son fils
Jacques assurant sa continuité avec la 6ième génération de la famille Gagnon. Depuis
2008, la ferme produit environ 400 acres de semences de classe: Certifiée, Enregistrée,
Fondation et Select. La moitié de la production est produite en semis direct. Deux cent
acres supplémentaires (en rotation) sont partagés en foin, canola et engrais vert.
Ayant cédé la majorité des parts à Jacques, Louis-Marie participe aux travaux de la
ferme, à la modification et à l'entretien des équipements. La bonne entente père et fils
assure la pérennité de l'entreprise.
Louis-Marie s'est impliqué très activement au niveau social. En 1970, après avoir suivi
un cours d'animation spécialisée en agriculture à l'Université Laval, il a animé pendant 5
années des classes de formation agricole dans sa région (cours aux adultes). Sur le
plan municipale, Louis-Marie a été: conseiller municipal de 1975 à 1981, président des
fêtes du 125ieme anniversaire de Notre-Dame-du-Portage "Les Retrouvailles" (qui furent
un réel succès), ainsi que maire de 1982 à 1988.
Militant à l'UCC devenu l'UPA, il y a été: président du secteur St-Alexandre de 1967 à
1976, président régional de la Côte-Sud de 1976 à 1981 et membre de l'exécutif
provinciale en 1979 et 1980. Louis-Marie a également été président du Syndicat des
producteurs de pomme de terre Côte-Sud de 1981 à 1986, ainsi que membre de
l'exécutif de la Fédération provinciale des producteurs de pomme de terre de 1982 à
1984.
Au cours des années 1997 à 2006, Louis-Marie a siégé comme administrateur au
Syndicat des producteurs de semence pedigree du Québec; ce qui lui a permis de
constater toute l'importance des semences pedigree au Canada et de visiter notre beau
pays lors de assemblés annuelles de l'ACPS.
Toujours désireux d'améliorer son expertise par l'application de nouvelles techniques et
des essais de nouvelles variétés; Louis-Marie n'hésite pas à partager ses expériences et
à en faire bénéficier ses pairs.
Actuellement à la pré-retraite, Louis-Marie participe à de nombreux comités sociaux et
culturels de sa paroisse; ce qui lui laisse du temps pour rouler en moto dans sa belle
région.
Section 6 - 5
Quentin Martin
West Montrose, Ontario
Originally incorporated in the 1960’s by the Martin family, Wintermar Farms has followed
an interesting metamorphosis out of a Holstein dairy farm. The first pedigreed seed crop
was grown in 1981, coinciding with Quentin’s graduation from the University of Guelph in
Crop Science. This also marked the beginning of the Cribit Seeds brand. In 1989
brothers Keith and Quentin started construction of the existing seed production and
processing facility on the Katherine Street, Winterbourne farm, where Quentin and Jean
live, located ten minutes north of Waterloo, ON.
During the 80’s and 90’s, Cribit Seeds was part owner of First Line Seeds Ltd., a Guelph
ON based company instrumental to the introduction of herbicide tolerant soybeans into
Canada. That interest was subsequently sold but Cribit Seeds continues to be a
production and processing location for DeKalb brand soybeans.
Over time, three of Quentin’s nephews, Craig, Jason and Andrew have joined the family
farm business and all have specific areas of responsibility. To fully utilize their cleaning
facility on a year round basis, Wintermar began cleaning grain for the food and feed
industry. In 2005 the opportunity to purchase the food grain processing portion of a
Fergus based business arose and that equipment was placed in a new facility on the
Winterbourne farm. The Wintermar Grains brand was formed at this time to distinguish
food grain production and processing from existing seed enterprise and involves
dehulling, roasting and flaking of oats, barley, soft wheat and rye. This enterprise has
been a logical extension of the family’s interest in genetic improvement of cereal crops.
Section 6 - 6
Seed cereal varieties are obtained through SeCan, a national seed association, where
Quentin currently serves as chair of the board of directors. Of that experience he says,
“it is great to be part of a progressive seed association that has as its foundation
hundreds of seed growers from across Canada.” Many of these growers he became
acquainted with while previously serving as President of the Ontario Seed Growers’
Association. Quentin also serves on the boards of North Waterloo Farmers Mutual
Insurance Company and St Jacobs Calvary United Church. On his involvement with
many organizations he comments, “it would be impossible without the support of Jean
and family business members and dedicated employees.”
In addition, Quentin enjoys coaching recreational soccer, playing pickup hockey and
assisting at the Elmira Theatre Company. Quentin and Jean, a primary school teacher,
have four daughters, Alannah, Mariah, Tarrah Joy and Rosaleigh.

D’abord constituée en société dans les années 1960 par la famille Martin, l’entreprise
Wintermar Farms, à l’origine une ferme laitière Holstein, a vécu une belle
métamorphose. La première culture de semences pédigrées a été produite en 1981,
coïncidant avec l’obtention par Quentin de son diplôme de l’Université de Guelph en
phytotechnie. Cette première récolte a également marqué le début de la marque Cribit
Seeds. En 1989, les frères Keith et Quentin ont entrepris la construction de l’actuel
centre de production et de conditionnement de semences de la ferme Winterbourne,
située sur la rue Katherine, où vivent Quentin et Jean, et qui se trouve à dix minutes au
nord de Waterloo, en Ontario.
Au cours des années 1980 et 1990, Cribit Seeds possédait en partie First Line Seeds
Ltd., une entreprise de Guelph, en Ontario, qui a contribué à l’introduction de soya
tolérant les herbicides au Canada. Par la suite, cet intérêt a été vendu, mais Cribit
Seeds demeure un centre de production et de conditionnement du soya de marque
DeKalb.
Au fil du temps, trois neveux de Quentin, Craig, Jason et Andrew, se sont joints à
l’entreprise agricole familiale, ayant tous des domaines de responsabilité précis. Afin de
pleinement utiliser leur installation de nettoyage pendant toute l’année, Wintermar a
commencé à nettoyer le grain pour les industries agricoles et alimentaires. En 2005,
l'occasion d'acheter le volet de conditionnement de céréales vivrières d'une entreprise
de Fergus s'est présentée et l'équipement qui s'y trouvait a été déménagé dans une
nouvelle installation de la ferme Winterbourne. La marque Wintermar Grains a été créée
à ce moment-là afin de la distinguer de la production et du conditionnement de céréales
vivrières de l'entreprise actuelle de semences et comprend le dépelliculage, la
torréfaction et le flaconnage de l'avoine, de l'orge, du blé tendre et du seigle. Cette
entreprise constituait le prolongement logique de l'intérêt familial dans l'amélioration
génétique des céréales.
Plusieurs variétés de céréales proviennent de SeCan, une association nationale de
semences, dont Quentin est actuellement le président du conseil d'administration. Voici
ce qu'il dit de cette expérience : « Il est fantastique de faire partie d’une association
semencière progressive qui a à sa base des centaines de producteurs de semences de
partout au Canada ». Il a fait la connaissance d'un grand nombre de ces producteurs
lorsqu'il était président de l'Ontario Seed Growers Association. Quentin fait également
partie du conseil d'administration de la North Waterloo Farmers Mutual Insurance
Company et de la Saint Jacobs Calvary United Church. Pour ce qui est de son
implication dans de nombreuses organisations, il dit ceci : « Ce serait impossible sans
l’appui de Jean, des membres de l’entreprise familiale et des employés dévoués ».
Section 6 - 7
En outre, Quentin aime bien son rôle d'entraîneur de soccer récréatif, il aime jouer au
hockey improvisé et aider la Elmira Theatre Company. Quentin et Jean, une
enseignante au primaire, ont quatre filles, Alannah, Mariah, Tarrah et Rosaleigh.
Robert Thériault
Drummond, New Brunswick
Robert Thériault grew up in the 40’s on a farm in Drummond, New Brunswick. After
attaining his Business degree in 1967 at University of Moncton, Robert gained
experience through a variety of employment opportunities. In 1975, he taught the
general agricultural course at the Grand Falls Community College. But he never lost
sight of his real dream - farming. In 1976, he purchased a farm in Drummond, near his
native farm, where he produced potatoes and seed grain. From 1976 until 1982, he held
a custom officer job at the Grand Falls-Hamelin port in order to support the financial
operation of his farm. By 1979, he began specializing in seed grain production, cleaning,
grading and marketing. Expansion of his operation and production capacities occurred
through the 80’s and 90’s with the installation of seed grain storages, cleaning facilities,
buildings and equipment in response to increased production and demand for quality
seed. More land was purchased in 1996 and the farm expanded its rotation practices on
the basis of a land exchange with potato growers in order to promote better crop
practices in the area. By 2003, his son Eric joined the operation which led to the
incorporation of Eastern Grains Inc. Since then, Eastern Grains continued its expansion
by adding more storage capacity, acquiring more farm land and increasing production
capacity, which allowed the family company to be more efficient and produce for specific
markets. Today, Eastern Grains Inc. is well known in the region for the production,
processing and marketing of quality seed grain and oilseeds to Maritimes, Maine and
Quebec farmers.
Section 6 - 8
Robert has contributed to the creation of various organizations, supporting the farmer’s
best interest and defending their cause. Robert is known for his efforts in promoting the
importance of agriculture, he is an active agricultural and community leader. He has
served on many agricultural boards and is recognized for his contributions. He served
as President on the Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick, founded in 2006 after the
merger of two organizations: The Agricultural Producers Association of New Brunswick
(APANB) and the Fédération des Agriculteurs et Agricultrices Francophones du
Nouveau-Brunswick (FAAFNB). He was also President of the FAAFNB for several
mandates. He remains active as a Director on the Agricultural Alliance board. He serves
as a Director within the New Brunswick Agricultural Council. Robert is very involved in
everything that is related to seed grain. He has long been a member of the New
Brunswick Grain Commission, the Canadian Seed Growers Association (CSGA) Maritime Branch, the Atlantic Grains Council (director), and the Canadian Seed Institute
(director), the Consultative Committee of the Eastern Canada Soil and Water
Conservation Centre (ECSWCC). Robert serves also on the Minister’s Round Table on
Agriculture in New Brunswick, on the Committee for the maintenance, continuation and
transition of the ECSWCC, on the Commission for the revision of agricultural practices.
Robert has been honoured on several occasions during his career. In 2000, he was
recognized by the Fédération des Agriculteurs et Agricultrices Francophones du
Nouveau-Brunswick (FAAFNB) for his leadership and dedication. In 2001, he received
the Provincial Agricultural Award for Excellence and Enthusiasm. In 2006, Robert
received a Farm Credit Corporation Innovation Award jointly with Vincent Kilfoil for their
leadership efforts toward the historical merger of the two Provincial Federations. In 2010,
he received the New Brunswick Institute of Agrologist Leadership Award. In 2011, he
was nominated Soil Champion by the Soil Conservation Council of Canada (SCCC).
More recently, he was inducted into the Atlantic Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2012.
Robert and his wife Ghislaine, raised three children, Michèle, Luc and Éric. Ghislaine
passed away in 1999. Robert has 6 grandchildren: Tom, Rick (Michèle), Chloé (Luc),
Mackenzie, Malika, Kamélie (Éric).

Robert Thériault a grandi dans les années 1940 dans une ferme (production mixte) à
Drummond, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Après avoir obtenu un diplôme en administration de
l’Université de Moncton en 1967, Robert a acquis de l’expérience grâce à divers
emplois, tant du point de vue administratif qu’en éducation. Il a été à l’emploi de
l’Université de Moncton de la fin de ses études jusqu’au début des années 1970. En
1970-1971, il a été gestionnaire d’une jeune entreprise à Moncton avant de revenir à sa
région natale. Il a enseigné un an au CCNB, campus d’Edmundston, avant de se porter
acquéreur d’un commerce à Grand-Sault. Pour des raisons familiales, l’expérience
n’aura duré qu’un an. De gestionnaire du Centre d’achats de Grand-Sault pendant près
de deux ans, il retourne à l’enseignement agricole au CCNB, campus de Grand-Sault,
en 1975-1976. C’est alors qu’il réalise son rêve de devenir producteur agricole en
achetant une ferme mixte à Drummond, près de sa ferme natale. Il y produit alors des
pommes de terre et des graines de semence. La production agricole ne pouvant
soutenir seule ses besoins familiaux, il accepte un poste d’inspecteur des douanes au
poste frontalier de Grand-Sault-Hamelin de 1976 à 1982.
À partir de 1979, il se spécialise dans la production, le nettoyage, le classement et la
commercialisation des graines de semence. L’expansion des ses activités et de ses
capacités de production survient dans les années 1980 et 1990, où il procède à l’ajout
de silos, d’installations de nettoyage, de bâtiments et d’équipements afin de répondre à
Section 6 - 9
une production et une demande grandissante pour des semences de qualité. En 1996, il
achète d’autres terres et la ferme élargit ses pratiques de rotation au moyen d’échanges
de terres avec des producteurs de pommes de terre afin de favoriser une meilleure
rotation des cultures dans la région.
En 2003, son fils Éric se joint à l’entreprise, ce qui mène à la constitution en corporation
de Grains de l’Est Inc. Depuis, Grains de l’Est a continué l’expansion de la ferme en
ajoutant d’autres infrastructures, en acquérant d’autres terres arables et en augmentant
sa capacité de production, ce qui a permis à l‘entreprise d’être plus efficace et de
produire une semence de qualité supérieure pour des créneaux de marchés spécifiques.
De nos jours, Grains de l’Est Inc est bien connue dans la région pour sa production, sa
transformation et sa mise en marché de graines de semence et de plantes oléagineuses
de qualité pour les agriculteurs des Maritimes, du Maine et du Québec. Ce n’est pas
sans obstacles ou embûches que Robert a érigé cette entreprise, mais c’est avec
détermination et un flair pour les affaires qu’il a su se démarquer et réaliser son rêve,
son entreprise.
Dans ce tourbillon d’activités, Robert a contribué à la création de diverses organisations
se portant à la défense des intérêts des agriculteurs. Il a toujours trouvé le temps de
participer ou d’organiser de nouvelles associations qui font avancer les causes
agricoles. Il a été entre autres président de l’Alliance agricole du Nouveau-Brunswick,
fondée en 2006 lors de la fusion de deux organismes agricoles, soit l’Association des
producteurs agricoles du Nouveau-Brunswick (APANB) et la Fédération des agriculteurs
et agricultrices francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick (FAAFNB), dont il a d’ailleurs été le
président durant plusieurs mandats. Il est toujours administrateur au conseil de l’Alliance
agricole du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il est également administrateur au sein du Conseil
Agricole du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il est très impliqué vis-à-vis tout ce qui concerne les
semences céréalières. Il a été membre de la Commission des grains du NouveauBrunswick, de l’Association canadiennes des producteurs de semences (ACPS) - filiale
des Maritimes, administrateur du Conseil des grains de l’Atlantique, administrateur de
l’Institut canadien des semences, du comité consultatif du Centre de conservation des
sols et de l’eau de l’Est du Canada (CCSEEC). Robert siège à la Table ronde du
ministre sur l’agriculture du Nouveau-Brunswick, au Comité de maintien pour la
continuation et transition du CCSEEC, à la Commission de révision des pratiques
agricoles. Il contribue également auprès de plusieurs organismes communautaires et
différents comités, dont l’église de la paroisse de St-Michel de Drummond, la Guignolée,
et ancien administrateur de la Caisse populaire La Vallée de L’Érable.
Robert a été honoré à maintes reprises durant sa carrière. En 2000, il a été reconnu par
la Fédération des agriculteurs et agricultrices francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick
(FAAFNB) pour son dévouement et sa vision envers la communauté agricole
francophone du Nouveau-Brunswick. En 2001, il a reçu le Mérite agricole provincial pour
l’excellence et le dynamisme dont il fait preuve. En 2006, Robert a remporté le Prix à
l’innovation de Financement agricole Canada (FAC) conjointement avec Vincent Kilfoil
en reconnaissance de leur leadership. En 2010, il a reçu le prix de Leadership agricole
de l’Institut des agronomes du Nouveau-Brunswick. En 2011, il a été nommé Champion
des sols par le Conseil canadien de la conservation des sols. Dernièrement, il a été
intronisé au Temple de la renommée agricole de l’Atlantique, en 2012.
Robert et son épouse Ghislaine ont eu trois enfants : Michèle, Luc et Éric. Mme Thériault
est décédée en 1999. Robert a 6 petits-enfants : Tom, Rick (Michèle), Chloé (Luc),
Mackenzie, Malika et Kamélie (Éric).
