Taffy, an Electronic Storage Detection K9 with the Internet Child Exploitation Unit, visited the CSFL for training exercises. Taffy helps investigators locate hidden electronic devices and also provides deep-pressure therapy support for PTSD and anxiety.
Midge resistance and sawfly resistance almost never show up in the same variety.
CDC stacked both, plus improved fusarium head blight resistance, into the same breeding lines.

Durango is a great option for feed or forage! Give us a call if you have questions!
Major disease to minor threat.
That’s what decades of CDC resistance breeding did to ascochyta blight in lentil. Root rot is next.

Get the story behind CDC Bandit, a new awnless forage wheat from the Crop Development Centre at the University of Saskatchewan.
This variety gives growers another annual forage option, especially for those growing in drier conditions.

Nearly 43% of crops grown on Western Canadian farms were developed by the @CDC_USask. Backed by farmer investment and led by world-class researchers, the CDC is helping producers grow better crops and strengthen food security at home and around the world. #CelebrateAg

Canadian Beer Day = a good excuse to talk barley.
CDC Churchill is a 2-row malting barley with strong yield potential, good straw strength, lower grain protein, and broad Prairie adaptation.
Cheers to great beer @canadianbarley!

Meet the next generation of feed barley: CDC Dillinger and CDC Harness.
Less disease! Less lodging! More resilience! More profit!

15 candidate cultivars. 12 commercialized. One of them, CDC23.10s, is a new lentil line with a real yield edge over CDC Marble.
Small line name. Big deal for a rotation.
