Maizex Seeds has announced it is expanding seed corn production through the purchase of the former Dow AgroSciences seed corn facility located in Blenheim.
“This expansion and investment in Ontario seed production is in large part thanks to the trust farmers across Canada have placed in Maizex Seeds, along with the growth we are experiencing through our announced joint venture with Sollio Agriculture,” says Dave Baute, President and CEO of Maizex Seeds.
Maizex currently produces and processes seed corn through its facility located near Tilbury.
“The purchase of the Blenheim seed corn plant is an excellent fit for Maizex and will more than double our current capacity. Importantly, we are also able to work with experienced growers who, like our current seed producers, understand the importance of seed quality.”
He adds that Maizex will be further investing in the Blenheim location to modernize and expand the facility. Maizex is currently contracting with seed corn growers to support processing through both its Tilbury and now Blenheim plants for the 2019 growing season.
