Don Rickard elected seed growers pres. Bowmanville seed grower Don Rickard was recently elected presi- dent of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association (CSGA) at their annual meeting in Saskatoon. "I'm looking forward to accepting this challeng- ing position," Rickard said. The CSGA supervises the produc- tion of more than a million acres of seed by about 5,000 growers. Seed that passes the CSGA's str ingent criteria is sold as certified seed to thousands of Canadian farmers who prefer to plant seed with guaranteed genetic purity, germination and cleanliness. What's more, the proportion of Canadian farmland planted with certified seed is increasing steadi- ly, according to Rickard. "Now more than ever, farmers are look- ing for value from the money they invest in crops inputs," he said. "And each year, more farmers are realizing that the first and most im- portant input they can buy is cer- tified seed." Don Rickard, his wife Gail and their two children represent the fifth generation of Rickards on the fami- ly's 1200 acre mixed farm, which they operate in partnership with Don's father and brother. An agriculture graduate from the University of Guelph, Don Rickard is a past president of The Ontario Seed Growers Association and has been a national director of the CSGA since 1981.
