Maintaining the yield and quality legacy of the Elite brand, our cereals product line–from wheat to oats, barley, rye, and peas–is now marketed in Quebec and the Maritimes under the Maizex Seeds brand. Maizex cereal varieties are selected through local testing to provide superior product performance through disease resistance, desirable agronomic traits, and high yield potential. Maizex cereal varieties are also supported by the Maizex agronomy and field support team and are sold in Quebec exclusively through your local Sollio Agriculture co-op location and in the Maritimes through select Maizex dealer locations.
