The Seed Industry Conference (SIC) Planning Committee has had to reschedule the conference to April 14, 2022. The conference will still be held in Woodland, CA at the Willow Oak Hall from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The Seed Industry Conference is an educational event that is planned and coordinated by the California Seed Association (CSA). The basic purpose of the conference is to provide key production and field employees of seed operations with an educational program consisting of both managerial and technical information specific to the industry. The Seed Industry Conference emphasizes practical skills and techniques that are of direct and immediate benefit to the participants.  Because some of the participants who attend the SIC may not attend the CSA Annual Convention, the conference provides an opportunity to network with others in the industry. The Seed Industry Conference also gives the association the opportunity to showcase some of the current programs and activities of CSA.   Registration materials are on our website www.calseed.org “events”.

Topics to be covered include:

• Importance of Field Sanitation & Biosecurity
• Broomrape Update
• Relationship Between the Seed Company and the Grower
• Testing for Seed Health
• Seeds and Bees: Pollinator Health and Issues
• Seed Treatment and Enhancements
• What You Need to Know to Sell Seed
