WELCOME
Bayer is proud to partner with this prestigious event on the world curling stage with our premium seed brand: DEKALB. It’s great to see everyone descending once again on Morris, Manitoba, where the fabulous organizing committee and volunteers have pulled together this wonderful event. Of course, we’d like to give a special shout-out to all the farmers taking in the tournament.
The farming community is who we live to serve-providing high-performing seed, premium crop protection solutions and digital farming insights. Farmers are the heartbeat of our communities. After working around the clock to bring in the year’s harvest, please do us a favour and give your local farmer a hug to say thanks!
As much as we love curling while the fields are covered in snow, we’re already excited for the 2025 growing season ahead! We can’t wait to share what we have in store for Western Canada: three new DEKALB canola hybrids-including our highest yield potential hybrid DK401TL – four new corn hybrids and a new soybean variety for Western Canada: all adding to our highest -yielding lineup yet. We’re also excited to launch our new cereal pre-burn herbicide Huskie PRE-a welcome resource to help farmers get the cleanest start to the season, with rapid, reliable control of early-season herbicide-resistant broadleaf weeds, including kochia.
We wish all the curlers best of luck this week and an enjoyable event for our loyal fans. We look forward to the exciting tournament ahead!
Hurry Hard!
