Learn MoreWelcome to Seed Corn Growers of Ontario
Our principal mandate is to work with the individual seed corn companies to negotiate production contracts that not only make our growers competitive, but also provide incentives to produce excellent seed. We work to ensure that our growers are provided with the most useful information and programs in order to maintain and broaden their seed corn production skills.
