The launch of planting season is always a milestone we look forward to at Horizon Seeds. It marks the beginning of another year of progress, potential, and partnership with the growers who drive Canadian agriculture forward.
One of the defining traits of our corn lineup is exceptional spring vigour—a feature that continues to set Horizon Seeds apart. Fast emergence, strong early development, and dependable performance give our products a consistent edge, even in the most challenging early-season conditions
.
As the pace picks up in the fields, we also want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of safety. Agriculture remains one of the most hazardous industries in Canada. Between 2011 and 2020, there were 624 agriculture-related fatalities across the country—an average of 62 per year—many occurring during high-activity seasons like spring planting. Machinery remains the leading cause of on-farm incidents.
At Horizon, we believe a strong start includes not just high-performing seed, but also smart, safe planning. Equipment checks, rest, and awareness go a long way in protecting what matters most—yourself and those working alongside you.
We wish you a safe and productive planting season. Here’s to a strong start, steady conditions, and a successful year ahead.
