SeedMaster creates canola contest aimed at helping one grower in 2023

Nov 11, 2022

A new contest has been announced for canola growers in Western Canada.

SeedMaster announced on Nov. 9 the ‘160 Acres of Gold Giveaway’ which will see one grower win everything they essential need to grow a quarter section of canola.

This includes InVigor® hybrid canola seed from BASF, ESN Environmentally Smart Nitrogen fertilizer from Nutrien, and crop protection products with custom application. The winner will also have the ability to use a crop intelligence weather station and SeedMaster’s Ultra SR drill for the 2023 crop year.

The company says they created the contest as a way to recognize the significance of canola, while also highlighting the tools farmers can use to help meet the demand.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
