Bragg's Wild Bird Seed

Description

Three-quarters of the crops grown here at Bragg's go into making birdseed. Four different kinds of peas are used for pigeon seed, three kinds of corn for pigeon and birdseed, sunflowers, barley, oats for horses. We grow Vetch and hard spring wheat. Soybeans are grown to help with crop rotation. "We keep trying different crops every year," Barry says. The Braggs still do custom corn drying and storing and some of our crop is still sold on the commercial market. But with corn and soybean prices hitting the skids in 1991, we came up with the idea for a wild birdseed business. We started to grow sunflowers and sell them off the farm. Now we sell some 75 different products, including eight different wild birdseed mixes and eight different pigeon feed mixes. We also provide a custom mix service and now make pigeon grit. About 1993, we got into the racing pigeon feed business, which we are proud to supply to customers across Canada. In 1995, we built a pigeon loft for 288 birds and established the Bragg International Race.
