ASTA Releases Cover Crop, Conservation Resource

The American Seed Trade Association released an updated tool for farmers and landowners this week. 

ASTA updated a guide that helps farmers easily locate and contact professional seed suppliers for quality environmental, conservation, and cover crop seed. 

The interactive Conservation, Environmental, and Cover Crop Seed Resource Guide allows buyers to find lists of specific seed types by geographic location to support production and sustainability goals. 

ASTA President & CEO Andy LaVigne says, “Professionally produced and processed seed is designed to help farmers achieve success through managing the use of the right seed, at the right place, at the right time.” 

Professionally produced seeds are selected, harvested, cleaned, analyzed, processed, packaged for performance, and tested for purity and germination. 

Those steps, LaVigne says, “helps ensure you get the best quality seed to meet your production and sustainability goals.” You can find the resource on the ASTA website, betterseed.org.
