Manitoba Forage Seed Association

The Manitoba Forage Seed Association was formed in 1991 through an amalgamation of the former Manitoba Forage Seed Producers’ Association and the Manitoba Alfalfa Seed Producers’ Association. It is an incorporated, not for profit, producer organization.

Building a stronger forage/turf seed production industry across Western Canada

The objective of the Manitoba Forage Seed Association is the advancement of the forage seed industry in all aspects. Although MFSA is involved in lobby on behalf of forage seed producers in areas of concern such as Safety Net Programs, Policy Development our primary focus is to undertake practical industry driven projects to address production and development issues facing the forage seed industry.

Our Goal

The goal of MFSA is to build a stronger forage/turf seed production industry across Western Canada through industry cooperation and coordination of efforts through open communication.

Our Research

The MFSA works hard at researching solutions to production problems in the industry and communicating that information to forage seed producers.

Lobbying

Efforts are also directed towards lobbying on behalf of forage seed producers in areas of concern such as Safety Net Programs, Policy Development and Current Business of the day.

Our Team

The association consists of nine member directors who are all forage seed producers as well as technical representatives from Manitoba Agriculture and the Seed Trade and has approximately 500 members.
