Lorne Grieger’s passion for agriculture began with family farm roots in the Swan Valley. His agricultural engineering degree from the University of Manitoba has provided multiple opportunities in the agricultural research, testing, and processing sectors. Over the past 20 years Lorne has broadened his expertise through performing and managing PAMI projects related to: • agricultural equipment innovation, development and testing, • applied research into grain production, harvesting and storage techniques, and • evaluation of alternative energy and processing systems. For almost 50 years, PAMI has been deeply passionate about agriculture innovation. What began as traditional, labor-intensive methods gradually transformed into a more modern, sustainable approach, thanks to the adoption of innovative techniques and technologies. This shift in farming practices ignited a desire to contribute to the continuous improvement of agriculture. We believe that agriculture innovation is essential for ensuring food security and sustainability in a rapidly changing world. Through on-farm research projects to working with industry partners, PAMI has provided the agriculture industry with needed information to help guide management, production practices and others to ensure a sustainable future.
