Due to an early spring in most of western Canada, several crops are maturing quickly. Please ensure to submit your application before the deadline dates to ensure the inspection of your crop at the proper stage of maturity. For additional information on the proper stage of maturity for your seed crop, please refer to Circular 6. Additionally, if you are producing a crop of fababeans this year, please submit your application by June 10th, 2016.
