About Fenton Seed FarmThe Fenton family’s roots are deeply embedded in agriculture as Fred McConnell established

The seed processing plant is a registered seed establishment monitored by Canadian Seed Institute which regulates quality standards for seed processing and storage facilities. A government inspected scale is located on-site.
The processing plant is located approximately 8 miles northwest of Tisdale,
Owners, Duff and Robin Fenton, as members of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA), SECAN, Farm Pure Seeds, the Saskatchewan Canola Growers’ Association, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ Association and others, have access to the newest seed genetics on the market.
We take pride in producing varieties of crops fitted for our growing area. Our “hands on” approach from the first breeder seed plots on down through the pedigreed process gives us a good understanding of the variety by the time it is released to our customer at the certified level four years later.
We have achieved wide-spread recognition for our commitment to quality seed, winning at numerous industry seed shows across Canada including Western Canadian Agribition, Seager Wheeler Seed Show, Yorkton Harvest Roundup, and The Toronto Royal, to name a few. |
