Growers aren't the only ones having to adapt to the province's new neonic-treated seed regulations.
Seed companies are facing many of the same problems getting up-to-speed on what the regulations are going to require.
Collin Phillip of Pioneer says they're working hard to educate their staff and reps so they can pass that information along to producers while at the same time offering growers a choice of available seeds.
Pioneer used Canada's Outdoor Farm Show to launch a new seed for life contest.
Top prize is seed for up to 25 years, up to a value of 1.25 million dollars.
Details on the contest are on the website - www.seedforlife.ca.

Dupont spokesman Collin Phillip emphasizes the contest goes beyond just winning the seed.

Phillip says the new neonic-treated seed regs mean education for the companies as well as for producers.

Phillip says after spending years at the show they felt it was time to make an investment in the event and in the company's presence in Eastern Canada.
