I would like to emphasize the value of
ASTA membership for both existing and potential members.
ASTA provides companies with access to services and
professional development programs specific to the seed
industry that are not available from other trade associations.
It provides educational opportunities and information about
research developments, industry trends, and business
management—most everything that can affect seed business and
its profitability—as well as networking opportunities and
fellowship among seed professionals. It is important to be
part of a strong, effective voice in support of the seed
industry’s interests. ASTA is the conduit for such advocacy.
