Company Profile

Kubik Seed Farms have been producing Pedigreed seed since 1970. The farm consists of 2700 acres devoted almost exclusively to Pedigreed Seed Production. A seed cleaning facility was constructed in 1981 and allows Kubik Seed Farms to clean a full line of cereals, oilseeds, and pulse crops as the market dictates. We are a select grower for cereals and canola, multiplying many different crops, usually 14-15 different varieties on an annual basis. Our seed plant was constructed in 1981, it is constantly being upgraded, and cleans between 80,000 and 100,000 bushels, annually. Seed is retailed predominately in a 100 mile radius but some has also been moved into the northern United States.

Kubik Seed Farms have exclusive marketing rights to the Safflower variety Saffire which was bred at the Lethbridge Research Station. A contracting program for birdseed safflower has been an ongoing enterprise since 1985, with the high year for export shipment being 2.5 million pounds in 1992. Two early frosts, 1994 and 1995, contributed to a significant downsizing in product availability but continuing efforts are being pursued to maintain a core group of growers.
