Company Info
SSG Fusion Ltd. was formed in October 2006 to fill a need
in the feedlot industry that SSG Fusion owners saw. The
result was Fusion: An Integrated Feedlot Management
Solution. First available to the industry in October 2007,
Fusion is making it simple to manage and collect data from
almost every phase of feedlot production. The first to
offer true software integration, Fusion handles each aspect
of the feedlot without double data entry or import/export.

Owner Bios
Darryl Gibb and his wife Rena live near Raymond
Alberta. Darryl has worked in the feed industry as a beef
nutritionist since 1992. He also has experience in beef
nutritional research. In both areas, Darryl has focused on
enhancing profitability through efficient use of feeds.
Darryl has previously designed nutritional computer
programs, but is now excited to be working with a real
programmer (Cannon) along with a feedlot producer (Ed) to
develop a unique integrated feedlot program.
Cannon Smith, from Hill Spring, Alberta, has a unique
mixture of agriculture and software development background.
The oldest of five children, he was raised on a large hog
and cattle farm. He has been programming computers ever
since receiving his first computer at age 11. He remembers
how astonished he was when, a few years later, he learned
that it was possible to buy a book explaining the computer
language he had figured out through trial and error. After
marrying, Cannon managed the hog farm until his family
decided to sell out in 2003. At that time he decided to
form
Synergy Farm Solutions and use his
skills to develop custom software.
Ed Stronks is a feedlot owner/operator in the Picture
Butte, Alberta area. He and his wife Shirley have three
children. Ed had a desire to use technology to a higher
degree than was currently available to integrate data
collection and improve cattle management in one system over
three feedyards. Meeting a programmer with a solid
agriculture background (Cannon) opened Ed's eyes to an
opportunity that had not been serviced by existing cattle
feeding software. Combining that experience with the
abilities of Darryl and his exposure to many different
feedlot management scenarios has resulted in a highly
flexible program for Ed's operation and has proven to be a
very rewarding experience over all!
