PIC genetics reduce North American pork producers’ greenhouse gas emissions by 7.5%

North American pork producers using PIC genetics now have peer-reviewed, ISO-conformant research to show that genetic improvement efforts are making a quantifiable impact – at a time when protein sustainability has never been more important.  PIC worked with Dr. Greg Thoma, a global environmental modeling expert, to complete a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studying the impact of pig breeding on the environmental sustainability of North American pig production.1 An LCA analyzes the effect a product has on the environment over its lifetime; in this case, monitoring the environmental impact of live swine production through to slaughter. GHG reductions with PIC genetics The North American LCA and a prior European LCA are among the first of their kind to quantify the environmental impact of swine genetic improvement and to receive ISO conformance. Key LCA findings: The North American LCA showed that full program PIC genetics (sire + dam) emit 7.5% less greenhouse gases than industry avera

Corteva separating into two entities

Corteva says it will separate its seed and pesticide businesses into separate listed companies, as the agrichemicals firm seeks to sharpen its strategic focus. The separation will allow each company to set specific capital allocation strategies, respond faster to market shifts and pursue growth opportunities independently. Its shares fell about seven per cent to their lowest in nearly five months.  The stock has fallen more than 14 per cent since the Wall Street Journal reported the company’s spin-off plans last month, as analysts raised concerns about disruption and dilution. The company has estimated added costs from splitting the company, of $80 million-$100 million US. Corteva’s seed business accounted for 57 per cent of its total sales in 2024, with remaining coming from its other segment, which produces herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and seed treatments.

Why Maizex is Bringing Canola to Alberta

Alberta trials are underway as Maizex prepares to offer booking for 2026. If you told me a few years ago that Maizex would be moving into canola, I might’ve called you optimistic. But here we are. After nearly four decades in Canadian agriculture and a strong national footprint in corn and soybean genetics, Maizex Seeds is officially entering the canola market — and yes, Alberta farmers, that means you. This move didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a multi-year process of strategy, scouting, and listening. Listening to farmers. Listening to dealers. And listening to what the canola market still needs — especially in the West. We’re launching our first two Maizex-branded canola hybrids for planting in 2026, and we’re excited to finally talk about it. This isn’t just about entering a new crop category. It’s about bringing a Canadian-owned alternative to the table — one focused on farmer-first service and choice in a market that, frankly, could use more of both. As I’m writing this, I’
