First Bale from the 2026 Harvest Arrives on the Pressing Floor

Stand Off, AB (July 23, 2026) - Kainai Forage is pleased to welcome the first bale from the 2026 crop year to the pressing floor.

With more than 90% of the first cut now stored, we are beginning to process the new crop and prepare it for shipment to our customers around the world. We are very happy with the quality that has come in so far and are excited to begin shipping 2026 product.

Getting the crop from the field into storage takes a major effort across the entire operation. Our Kainai Forage team, our partners at AOHKII/BTAP and our farming partners have worked long days throughout the harvest.

We want to thank everyone involved for the hard work that has brought us to this point. There is still more work ahead, but the progress and quality of the crop have given us a very strong start to the 2026 season.

We look forward to sharing the final first-cut results once the harvest is complete.
