undertaken a syndicated multi-client survey of Ontario corn producers
for the previous fifteen years. This survey provides agribusiness
clients with detailed information on the Ontario seed market, the

conservation practices on behalf of Agriculture Canada. This report

among corn producers. Detailed tables and survey protocol are provided
