UFA Corporate Communications
2026-05-04

In Our Community News

We are excited to announce an investment in Canterra Seeds through the acquisition of 17% in shares, positioning UFA as one of the company's largest of approximately 200 shareholders.

"Today's announcement marks an investment in western Canadian agriculture," says Bolton. "Over the last several years UFA has demonstrated strong results and built a balance sheet that will enable continued investment in western Canadian agriculture that benefits our member-owners."

The investment in CANTERRA SEEDS will not impact day-to-day operations or limit the seed varieties available for purchase at UFA. The co-operative will continue to carry a full line of seed varieties and crop input products as UFA recognizes that it is essential to continue to provide members and customers with choices in the products and services that are right for their operations.

"Our board of directors understands the unique challenges faced by farmers and ranchers, and this announcement demonstrates our commitment to the long-term vitality of member-owners," says Kevin Hoppins, Board Chair, UFA.
