ASTA Promotes Updated Resource for Locating Local, Professionally Produced Environment, Conservation and Cover Crop Seed

ASTA recently updated its guide assisting farmers, land owners and others to easily locate and contact professional seed suppliers for quality environmental, conservation, and cover crop seed. The interactive Conservation, Environmental, and Cover Crop Seed Resource Guide helps buyers find lists of dealers for specific seed types by geographic location to support production and sustainability goals.

“It’s important to always buy seed from a professional seed dealer,” said ASTA President & CEO Andy LaVigne. “Professionally produced and processed seed is designed to help farmers achieve success through managing the use of the right seed, at the right place, at the right time. It has been selected, harvested, cleaned, analyzed, processed and packaged for performance; and it has been tested for purity and germination. All of this helps ensure you get the best quality seed to meet your production and sustainability goals, while minimizing the presence of invasive and other weeds.”

The Environmental, Conservation, and Cover Crop Seed Resource Guide can be found here.
