It is-simple, we're one and the same. For 25 years, Pride corn has been grown, processed and distributed to Canadian growers, but last fall we dropped-the name Pride Hybrid in favor of King Grain -- it simplified things. Growers already know us for King Brand seed which are available through your local seed dealer so it made sense to join everything together. And this year it's business as usual. You can make a one-stop shopping call for all your seed needs and at the same time find out about Perth barley,,a brand new six-row spring barley which has everything going for it high yields, disease resistance, standability and soon. Remember now, when you hear someone talk about King Grain or mention Pride corn you'll know you're -at the right place. Two heads are better than one. King Grain Limited P.O.
