provides seed company personnel or workshop participant with
the pre-certification training necessary to draw samples for
the issuance of ISTA Orange Certificates.
This workshop is an excellent education experience for
anyone sampling seed, regardless if it will be exported or
not. Milt Haugen, Croplan Genetics, participated in a seed
sampling workshop and suggests “To do justice to your
customer and your company’s product, everyone should attend
a sampler workshop.”
The sessions will begin at 8:00 a.m. on the first day and
conclude by noon on the second day. The workshops will be
held at the Phoenix Grand Hotel in Salem, OR and Mid-West
Seed Services, Inc. in Brookings, SD.
ISTA accredited laboratories issuing International Orange
Certificates are responsible for the training and auditing
of authorized seed sampling personnel.
