Monsanto Canada plans to spend $14 million to expand and upgrade its hybrid seed production facility in Lethbridge. The investment includes a new cleaning plant and expanded bulk storage. The project was necessitated by growing demand for the company’s DeKalb canola hybrids and to accommodate new seed traits in the pipeline.”By bringing everything under one roof, we will gain efficiencies and enhance our quality control,” Ryan Baldwin, president of Monsanto Canada’s seed and traits business, said in a news release.Work is expected to begin in September and take 11 months.
