Spring is right around the corner! Eric Lindholm, third-generation seed grower, analyzing some wheat seed.
At Lindholm Seed Farm, the gravity table is running full time. Proven to be a fast and effective way to remove impurities, it allows the grain to be brought up to the farm’s high standards. The top-quality seed will then be sold to growers in the area. The farm cleans between 150,000 and 200,000 bushels of grain annually, including canola, wheat, barley, peas and faba beans. Lindholm Seed Farm was originally started in 1929 as a mixed farming operation and specialized into full-time seed production in the mid-’80s. Many top seed producers in the area, including Lindholm Seed Farm, are featured in the 2017 Spring Farm Guide published by The Camrose Booster. Please see this year’s Farm Guide for a full listing of seed growers, ag supplies and services offered to farmers throughout central Alberta.
