The True North Advantage
Benefits of Saskatchewan-grown seed potatoes from True North
- Seed originates with pathogen-free nuclear stock utilizing a closed loop system
- Three field inspections by Canadian Food Inspection Agency staff
- Samples of all seed are post-harvest tested in the laboratory for Bacterial Ring Rot and viruses
- Seed potatoes are produced under an abbreviated generation system. Elite III seed has become the main class of seed produced for commercial potato production – from nuclear to commercial planting in four years
- The Canadian Certification Program has a well deserved reputation for rigor and high quality standards
Isolation - Saskatchewan has over 20 million acres of crop land... but less than 10,000 of those acres are in potatoes. This allows True North to grow its seed potatoes using the long rotations and field isolation that insure quality. - The phenomenon know as Northern Vigor™
