DLF has officially retired its Mapleseed and Turfline product brands and unveiled four new brands for the Canadian market: Forage First by DLF (forage seed), Earth Carpet by DLF (turf seed), Soil First by DLF (cover crop seed) and Deer Creek Seed by DLF (wildlife seed).
DLF said in a release “this transition marks a significant step in the company’s strategy to unify its brand presence across North America and strengthen brand equity and recognition.”
Patrick Reed, vice president of distribution sales for DLF North America said the Mapleseed brand has a long history, and the company intends to “honour its legacy by continuing to provide maximum seed quality for Canadian climates and soil conditions.”
