About Our Wheat
At ARM River Farming Co. Ltd., we specialize in growing premium hard red spring wheat varieties that are renowned for their exceptional milling quality and high protein content. Our wheat is carefully cultivated using sustainable farming practices that ensure optimal grain development and quality.
Saskatchewan's unique climate and rich prairie soil provide the perfect conditions for growing world-class wheat. Our fields benefit from long summer days, cool nights, and just the right amount of rainfall to produce wheat with superior baking characteristics.
We use precision agriculture techniques to monitor crop health throughout the growing season, ensuring that each kernel develops to its full potential. From seeding to harvest, every step is carefully managed to maintain the highest quality standards.

From Seed to Harvest
Spring Seeding (April-May): We plant certified seed varieties selected for their quality characteristics and disease resistance. Seeding depth and timing are carefully managed to ensure optimal germination.
Growing Season (June-July): Throughout the summer, we monitor crop development, soil moisture, and nutrient levels. Our precision agriculture tools help us make informed decisions about crop management.
Maturation (August): As the wheat matures, we conduct regular field inspections to assess grain fill and quality development. This critical period determines the final protein content and test weight.
Harvest (August-September): Timing is everything. We harvest when moisture content and grain quality are optimal, using modern equipment to minimize kernel damage and maintain grain integrity.
