Grain commission pulls license for Monette Seeds

Apr 24, 2026 | 10:27 AM

Starting May 1, Monette Seeds will no longer be licensed by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC).  

The company’s primary elevator licence at Swift Current, Sask., will not be renewed.  

Monette Seeds has filed for protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). 

CGC advised that any producers who are owed money for grain deliveries should contact the Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program immediately. Producers who have open contracts with Monette can contact the court-appointed monitor.  

Monette Group filed for creditor protection under the CCAA which is now before the Court of Kings Bench of Alberta and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, impacting all of its affiliated companies in Canada and the U.S.
