Premium Canary Seed
Why you should be growing it.
Canary Seed (as
distinct from Canary Grass) is a Spring sown, annual, combinable crop.
Canary Seed is used in birdseed mixtures and substantial quantities are
currently imported to supply this expanding market. The removal of
crop-specific agricultural support (under the recent Mid Term Review) has
opened up the opportunity for UK farmers to grow Canary Seed. The crop is
straightforward to grow and harvest and has proved to be very profitable
relative to other Spring sown options.
