Farmers and gardeners looking for
quality-assured seed to plant can order a free 2007 Iowa Seed
Directory from the
Iowa Crop Improvement Association (ICIA).
Seed production information from more than 100 producers is
included in this year's directory. Iowa Seed Directory listings
include ICIA members who range from farmer-owned enterprises to
multi-national seed companies. The directory lists fields that
were inspected for genetic identity and purity during the 2007
season. The Iowa Seed Directory is published annually as a
resource for quality soybean, oat, wheat and native prairie
species seeds.
To order a free copy contact the ICIA at (515) 294-6921 or
iowacrop@iastate.edu. The directory also can be viewed at
http://www.agron.iastate.edu/icia/.
The ICIA encourages consumers to request analysis information
when making seed purchases. Documentation of seed germination,
purity and presence of weed species assures the buyer that they
are purchasing quality seed.
ICIA's mission is to provide an unbiased source of service
and education in production and quality assurance for Iowa
agricultural crops. Founded in 1902, the association has
provided seed production and crop performance testing services
for more than 80 years. |
