ASTA and
Agri Marketing
magazine, Chesterfield, Mo., will partner to publish a Special
Salute to ASTA. The estimated 48-page publication will include
articles tracing the heritage of the seed industry, current
updates on ASTA's initiatives and interviews with seed industry
executives.
"The Salute will be distributed as a special Supplement with the
November issue of Agri Marketing magazine," said Publisher Lynn
Henderson.
"Copies will also be distributed at ASTA's 2008 Corn & Sorghum
and Soybean Seed Research Conference (Chicago, Dec 9-12), to
ASTA member companies, Congressional leaders, regulatory
agencies and other thought leaders. In addition to the print
edition, the Salute will also be available digitally so it can
be viewed on-line at www.AgriMarketing.com," Henderson said.
"That substantially increases its availability and viewership,
especially among the students, their advisors and the
participating organizations."
ASTA Vice President of Communications Gretchen Flanley said, "We
are pleased to announce this special publication. It provides an
opportunity to bring awareness to other agricultural businesses
about the seed industry and the good work of our members."
Agri Marketing, first published in 1962, is sent to over
8,000 corporate agribusiness executives, their marketing
communication agencies, as well as trade associations, media and
other professionals of the agriculture industry.
Founded in 1883, the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA),
located in Alexandria, Va., is one of the oldest trade
organizations in the United States. Its membership consists of
about 850 companies involved in seed production and
distribution, plant breeding, and related industries in North
America. As an authority on plant germplasm, ASTA advocates
science and policy issues of industry. |
