New seed sorter promises value

A new seed sorting technology promises to create value for farmers, deliver a consistent product and protect export markets.

The BoMill TriQ seed sorter scans each individual kernel with light in the near-infrared range to find out characteristics that are important to food, malt or feed. These include crude protein, starch, moisture, grain hardness, and functional values.

The sorter, which is currently being tested at the University of Saskatchewan’s Canadian Feed Research Centre (CFRC) in North Battleford, was imported from Sweden with the help of an investment from Western Economic Diversification Canada.
