A team of agricultural officers yesterday visited the operations of the Stine Seed Farm at Dubalay Ranch to get a firsthand look at the corn and soybean production.
Harry Stine, Managing Director of the company, has been operating out of the Berbice River farm for the last 12 years. The mega farm investment employs approximately 150 workers, mainly women from the area.
The US-based company is currently doing genetically modified hybrid seeds.
“Our operations here have been successful thus far, however, the only problem we have encountered is the Ph problem of which we have used lime and charcoal to remedy the situation,” Stine said.
Stine lauded the move of the new administration in affording businesses with the opportunity to grow, by making available the necessary incentives to ensure success.
In addition, Stine also offered the services of his company to the Ministry of Agriculture to assist in the areas of research and development.
Presently the company has 130 acres of corn and soybean under cultivation.
